Photography is more than just a medium for me; it’s a language of storytelling that bridges time and speaks directly to the soul. Since 2015, as a photographer based in Kashmir, I have used this art form to explore not only technical skills but also a deeper way of expressing emotions and narratives. My work gravitates towards black-and-white photography, a choice that feels natural and essential. Stripped of color, these images reveal the essence of a story through contrasts, textures, and emotions in their most honest form. This simplicity has taught me to see the world differently, focusing on details that often go unnoticed. Black-and-white photography has become the core of my creative expression, shaped by the guidance of mentors and my own evolving perspective. At its heart, my photography is about preserving stories—those fleeting moments that might otherwise fade into obscurity. Each image I create is an attempt to capture not just what I see, but also what I feel, with the hope that it resonates with others. This journey is far from complete. It’s driven by a desire to turn my passion for photography into a purpose—crafting visual stories that connect, inspire, and stand the test of time.
