A photographer primarily based in DC Metro area, but originally from Kathmandu Nepal. Telling the truth, I have been in photography for a long time as on and off and depending on assignments, and worked on couples of projects with some of the international nonprofits organizations such as JICA, Photovoice UK, and Lutheran Nepal. During my photography journey, I have received a consolation prize in a competition organized by Kathmandu Metropolitan City. That situation made me polarize on picture-taking and added two solo exhibitions and more than half-dozen group exhibitions including three front pages and couples of other pictures which have been published in the USA and Nepal. For formal photography education, I have studied one year in Pathshala, South Asian Institute of Photography (now South Asian Media Academy) in Dhaka. Then after I went through several classes in Montgomery College Rockville, Maryland and finally, have gotten chance to enrolled in Master’s Degree on New Media Photojournalism in Corcoran College of Art and Design (GWU). I have just graduated from the Master’s Degree in last May.
Telling Story through visual media, especially photography has been a prominent means of bringing the unseen reality of happenings which could be a chilling story or pleasurable moment of mankind. Being a witness of incidents and side by side feelings of the truth which are not cliches, although conflicts of own thoughts for being a witness of something to bring them to the light for the greater good has rejuvenated my personal meaning on photographs. Day by day, the situation of human lives have come to the middle of the almost all issues. Giving the light to those issues, without involving any sides, a photographer always compelled to walk through all those situations knowingly or unknowingly – there is no choice for photographers rather than being witness and recording fraction of time in a visual mechanics to bring to the larger crowd.
