I’m 25 year old young guy with energetic & enthusiastic personality.I have completed my engineering study.
Initially, I never thought that my photography will be my passion but it all happened dramatically after sudden dismissed of my cousin brother Subodh Singh 27 year, on 2007.He was renowned upcoming photo journalist of Nepal.I was very impressed with his carrier, public relation, dedication on work & commitment.Moreover; I was emotionally attached with him as well.Therefore; after his sudden death I decided to be professional photographer & it will be a truly dedication to my brother as well.
"Though I had keen interest in photo and web designing, I was less familiar with the operation of professional Digital SLR camera.But after the death of my brother, the camera that he used to hold attracted me and dragged my attention.Unknowingly, I started playing my fingers on the camera and clicking photos.Gradually I learnt the photography skills.Now photography has become my passion.
