Photographer In Leading English Daily Of J&K State Times

I’m a photographer for one of the leading English dailies here in Jammu, specifically for State Times. My base is at House No 220 in Chowk Chabutra. If you know the Gali Banarasian area, you know it’s got a lot of history and character. Jammu is a place that keeps you busy, especially when you’re out capturing what’s happening on the streets. My home and workspace are kind of merged into one at this address. It’s not a studio with fancy backdrops or lights everywhere. It’s just where I keep my gear and look over the shots from the day. The lanes around Chowk Chabutra are narrow, and you can hear the sounds of the city all day long. I’ve lived and worked in this part of Jammu for quite some time. The neighbors know me and see me heading out with my camera at all hours of the day and night. Sometimes the light in the morning is just right for a few shots before the real work starts. I don't use any marketing tricks to get noticed. People know the work from the newspaper pages. It’s a simple life, mostly spent on the move or sitting at my desk in Gali Banarasian. The 180004 pin code is home. It’s a bit crowded and can be noisy, but it’s the real Jammu that I enjoy. I don’t need a big office when the whole city is basically my office anyway. Every day brings a new assignment and another reason to walk through these old streets.
