He tells Hindustan Times, Covid was a blessing in disguise for him, igniting his passion for photography. With lockdown shutting schools and colleges nationwide, and physical classes going virtual, Aditya for the first time purchased a smartphone for his online classes. Before Covid, he didn’t own any smartphone or camera, so never got the chance to try out photography.

After finishing his online classes, Aditya explored the local biodiversity in Pawas, brimming with rich flora and fauna. Religiously, after classes, he would spend a good 7-8 hours trying to capture creative shots of insects and animals and post them on his social media. His photos gained good reach and responses and even received tips from photography experts. Slowly, he nurtured this newfound hobby into a fervent passion.

Sunset as a beautiful natural creation has always drawn him, creating a soft corner for sunset photography in him. When he got his first phone, he often clicked pictures of sunset by the lake or beach, capturing the marvelous reflection. Then the idea of playing with light and shadows dawned on him. This type of photography of light and shadow is called sunset silhouette photography.
