How did I picture this:
It was my friend Amit, who called to capture this lovely frame as my theme on this tour was Hampi & People. There was not enough light as the sun was setting. You can see orangish rays of light falling on the frame in this picture. A man sitting with a beautiful backdrop. Finally, I am happy that I was able to capture and present it to you all.
It was indeed a beautiful evening followed by a night photography. A day to cherish in the years ahead.
I am Vikas Kalagi, born and raised in silicon valley - Bengaluru. Photography has been my passion since very long time. My love towards the world of photography began from my childhood days. I started experimenting by projecting images of film rolls on the walls by using lenses.
I started clicking photographs of whatever I liked in those days and photography became my hobby. Once my work started getting recognition from family and friends, I took this as a serious profession.
I have been into professional photography since 2014. I am also a member of a photography club called 'Shoot Bob Photography Expeditions' where we guide budding photographers, take them on tours and expeditions.
Our work was recognized and well received in an English national daily. Further my interview was published in an article this year.
My interest are into different genres of photography like street photography, people (portraits), nature, birding etc. View all posts by Vikas Kalagi
