“The camera is a great medium to get close to Mother Nature”

- Uttam Kalita.

In this competitive age we are so busy with ourselves that we often fail to enjoy the beautiful creation of nature. Photography helps to draw our attention towards this fascinating creation and find solace from our hectic schedule. It adds another dimension to the entire beautiful thing around us by capturing nature’s gift in all its purity for us.

Whenever we see a beautiful a painting we praise the painter for creating such an amazing masterpiece. Similarly in case of Photography photographs are the masterpieces and photographers are the ones who bring Excellency in them. 

As for me, Photography started as my hobby and slowly turned into my passion and my profession. I was so involved in my hobby that I myself didn’t know how and when it became my passion. It gives me immense pleasure, ultimate joy, complete satisfaction in capturing some beautiful moments .It is in just inexplicable. Whenever I go I never feel bored as my best friend “my camera” is always there with me to capture the precious moments of time. 

As far as my Subject of photography is concerned, I am interested in nature and wildlife photography, I even shot theme base photographs, and Butterflies are one of my favorite models (object). I always appreciate their poses and their attitude which gives new dimensions in nurturing the creativity in me. They never fail to make my pixels the most popular and adorable one. Black and white photographs are my favorite. It expresses what I see and feel more effectively than color ones. I love to create street photographs too which speaks out various facets of life. I find myself framing everything around me and taking a picture of it in my mind. 

During my childhood, I love to stand in front of camera, but the scenario changed when I reached my college life. I took up camera in my hand and unexpectedly got positive responses from every one. Since then I have been involved in Photography and very satisfied in this carrier option.

I would like to compare my feelings of owning my first camera to that of a child getting his favorite toy demanded by him, it was simply immeasurable. In fact it was the most memorable day as it was on my 20th birth day. I am doubly satisfied as it was the result of my tireless effort to possess my precious friend. In fact, I tried very hard and worked till late night to afford it. 

   My current camera is Fujifilm S3300 which is good enough for me right now. I would love to upgrade to the Cannon 7D but being a student it is quite not possible for me to buy it right now however I definitely see myself capturing my objects with this in the near future. My ideal would be a DSLR which would give me a lot of freedom and control of the settings.

My first achievement was when I received “Photographer of the month” at enajori.com which boosted my determination and encouraged me to relentlessly try to create something new. After this success I got myself immensely involved in this profession and the output is really good, after that I received Grand winner in the 7sisters.in Photography Competition. 

 

I learnt a lot from my senior and fellow photographers, who guided me towards the intricacies of photography. My family members, my friends and my well wishers support is something I can never forget and is the driving force. I am very thankful to all of them. 

Lastly but not the least I would like to show my gratitude to 7 sisters.in for giving me an opportunity to share my views .Moreover there are lots of talented young photographers in Assam. They just need a good platform to showcase their talent and to fly high with colors taking this profession as their carrier option. 

  My endeavor is always in making my photographs speak and feel rewarded when someone identifies the same feeling with which I have captured those moments and I commit to try my utmost to offer some memorable works in my field.
