He spent over two decades establishing a reputation as one of the top professional photographers in the country and deserves every bit of the recognition. The TINDS team had the fantastic opportunity to talk with the maestro about his journey of coming this far. My father was a freedom fighter, and he was very creative as a person.

Gmb akash full name

He was a government employee, yet I grew up seeing him reciting poems, singing songs, and even performing in theaters. He inspired me, but I needed help figuring out what I wanted to become. I found an old camera at home that belonged to my father, a Yashica Fx3. I learned how to operate that camera by myself with the help of the manual and started taking photos without knowing anything.

I had no idea about photography or that photography could be a profession. Human faces and unusual stories intrigued me, and that camera became my passport to go to places I could never go to otherwise. From the beginning of my photography career, I started working on street photography and with marginalized people in society. Working with these people has fostered a deep interest in and understanding photography and life.

Slowly, my camera became my best friend, and I profoundly discovered meaning and purpose in my life. Photography became, and still is, my mission.
