• I am a Photographer, Speaker and Traveller. I believe that my art should reach as many as possible without any monetary hurdles. In early 2009, I started experimenting with my camera and by the end of the same year I had become a Professional Photographer. I still call Photography his Passion not his profession. Prior to Photography, I was a Journalist for The Indian Express and DNA in Asia. I am currently based out of nowhere but travels around Asia and North America for work. Once in a year I do Fiazi Safar; which means I travel every year in different countries to collect and gift pictures and spread happiness or travel thousands of miles without carrying any money on me to experience the World of Humility and tolerance level. Through my penniless journeys, I want to see how does one feel on denial of help? Does it hurt our ego, do we feel insecure, do we get angry and what is our tolerance level. Also to see how people react to a stranger with empty pockets. In todays day and age, how easy is it to put faith in strangers?
