Hi, I am Vivek! A lawyer who loves photography and travelling.
Welcome to my blog where I share my stories and photographs, not only from the places I travel to with limited leaves, but also the food I relish, the people I meet, and beautiful moments I share with them. You can hate me for being blunt and love me for being honest.

Book Review ‘Creating Photographs’ by Albert Watson is a quick read (127 pages including full-page photographs) that should not take you more than a week to finish.

Review This book is styled and structure as a classroom textbook and covers the crucial role of context and narrative in visual imagery.

Photography means nothing if it is devoid of art and personal expression of the artist. The two mediums of visual art are so intertwined that I cannot imagine one without the other. That is why I always focus on enriching my knowledge and understanding of the art and its history. In this artistic pursuit, I find and learn many interesting facts, stories and useful insights.
“Vivek has an eye for detail and is a perfectionist to the core. There were so many amazing shots that he took, however he was not satisfied with that and kept taking more shots until he got that perfect shot. He never tires during a shoot and keeps at it till he is completely satisfied. He made a lot of otherwise dreary and dull shotscomealive through his photography. He also spends a lot of time post the shoot to select the good photographs and edit them to give it that finishing edge.”― Priyadarshini Shetty

“We loved thecandid photographs Vivek took at our wedding. From the Mehendi to the Bidaai, he covered everything, including the make-up and wardrobe shots. The pictures he has captured of our family and friends will be treasured for a lifetime. He was polite, patient, accommodating and got along so well with us that it felt like he was a part of our extended family. As a bride, I felt very comfortable having him around, he worked around our constraints and took photos that authentically captured the moments. Choosing him as the photographer for our destination wedding in Goa was our best decision.” ― Archana Sinha

“The talent is there. Of this there is no doubt; glance through his photos and the skill becomes supremely evident. What the pictures may not tell you about this man though, is his patience, his unending patience. And his desire to push, to do that little bit extra that distinguishes a good photo from an excellent one. The other impressive bit about Vivek is, I think, the fact that he is own harshest critic. Highly recommended, and a thorough professional.”― Anuj Garg
