I took a 30 Day Photography challenge in August 2020, where I pushed myself to try out new styles of photography. It felt like a crash course in photography that helped me in understanding light and shadow, composition, colour theory, and storytelling in a better way.
I began my 30-day Photography challenge on the 3rd of August 2020, where I decided to practice creative photography for thirty days, trying a new style each day. I’ve just reached the 21st day of my challenge. Honestly, I am proud of my perseverance. Working from home had hit my creativity the hardest. However, this challenge was a breath of fresh air.
Photography has been my passion since childhood, and thanks to my parents’ support, I started photography as a hobby at a young age. I began with an analogue camera, followed by a digital point and shoot camera and finally a digital SLR. I went on a clicking spree wherever I visited and loved shooting landscapes, architecture, wildlife and nature. However, I never gave much thought to creative photography until recently.
In early 2018, I tried Awadhi cuisine for the first time, and it was love at first bite. My friends had ordered kebabs from a restaurant named Tunday Kebabi.

I am not an avid reader. I only prefer reading while travelling or on vacation. It helps me unwind my thoughts and to learn something new. However, in the time of the pandemic, I was in dire need of inspiration, that is when I came across this book called “Irrationally Passionate” via Blogadda.
It’s been more than three years I visited Andaman. However, I still remember every bit of my trip. Blue sky, the smell of the ocean, dancing reefs, sparkling sand, a place no less than paradise.
