I have been a professional fashion photographer for the past five years and have come across many good photographers, some of whom have also become my inspiration to create something. Today I’ll be giving my token of love and appreciation to a few of those favourite photographers whom I have always admired and gotten inspiration from.
1) THARIQ HUSSAIN
If you are a photographer from Hyderabad, you would have heard about Thariq Hussain for sure. He’s one gem of a photographer with a unique perspective. His architectural photography is one of my personal favourites. He’s also super helpful, and if you’re a newbie to photography, do not hesitate to reach out to him as he’ll teach you a lot of valuable tips and tricks.
2) SANKEERTH JONNADA
He’s my inspiration for architectural and product photography. Being one of the most detail-oriented and creative photographers in my city, he hides a unique story behind every picture he captures. Sadly, we haven’t had the opportunity to meet frequently, and I’ve only crossed paths with him once during a photographers meetup some group had conducted in Hyderabad years ago.
3) SHREYANS DUNGARWAL
He has been my mentor, my guru, and a lot more beyond what I can possibly put into words. Since I started photography years ago, he has been one of the most important guiding influences throughout my photographic journey. I still haven’t forgotten the day I met him at his studio.
He’s one of the most charming individuals I’ve come across, and that’s not even his greatest asset, which is saying something. There is a lot more to tell about my mentors, but I’m going to leave that for another blog post before this one gets too long.
4) SUSHMITHA TADAKAMADLA
She’s a fantastic photographer and an even better friend. If you are starting your journey in food photography, she is the person you need to follow. She has a unique style of shooting, and very few people can capture food and moments the way she does. She has also been a photography mentor at Hamstech Institute, so you know we’ve got a catch here.
5) ROHAN KUMAR
He’s like an elder brother to me and has been my second mentor. I am thankful to the field of photography for many reasons, but one of the most important ones is to have introduced me to this man here. I have learned the most intricate hacks in photography from him.
He is my go-to-person with whom I can share anything and ask anything without the fear of judgment, whether that’s photography advice or the recipe for a chicken curry. Ok, this is it for now. I will continue with other photographers who have had an impact on my journey in one of the other upcoming blog posts.
