The passion for photography became a part of me ever since my childhood. Born in 1967, I was literally brought up in a photo studio run by my father who was a professional photographer. A photo shop, studio, dark room, living room, kitchen, bed room, study room - all these are housed under one roof in the busy streets of Imphal Bazar. This is where my life was shaped and soon I was working into assingments for my father since my early teens. The equipment in those days were the medium format Twin Lens Reflex Cameras (120mm) Rolleiflex, Richomatic, Yashica etc. and the 35mm SLR cameras from Nikon, Canon, Yashica, Vivitar etc. However, I was into Govt. service by 1990 and became separated from photography for a while. But this gap didn't stay long, as I resume my old passion again in conjunction with the advent of digital photography. Thus in 2008 I purchased a Nikon D90 DSLR and began shooting again, and later on upgraded to a Nikon D700. Presently, I am doing Landscape, Street, Abstract, Nature & Photojournalism. On the earning front I am presently engaged in studio photography, events, functions, ceremonies, weddings, product shots, portraiture etc. Currently interested in HDR photography.
