“Working to make every fleeting moment of mine count.  I make the most of it through my lens and am grateful that I found my passion in seizing time with my camera.” – Chinmay Macwan”

 

Background: Born in a typical Indian family and holding a typical engineering degree, I chose to walk the roads that were seldom taken. I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer and continued to do my post-graduation diploma with specializations like Advertising and Public Relations.

 

Passion: My love for travelling and exploring new places guided me to the world of photography. I consciously chose to begin my journey as a photographer with fine art nature photography, as the tranquility in nature brings out the spiritual vibes. Having become a self-taught photographer, I realized that photography is more than my passion. So, I pursued a Diploma in photography at Humber College, Toronto.

 

 

Awards and achievements: All those years of self-learning made me gain a strong foothold on fine art nature photography.  I was awarded as the Top 8 Young Photographers of India in 2015 by Saevus Magazine and Top 4 Emerging Photographers of the Year 2017 by Better Photography magazine.

 

Experience: Now, I stand here looking at my 10 years of photography journey, 6 years of Portrait Photography, and 2-year Product photography as a part of my journey. My style of viewing the world through the lens has given me a whole new career and perspective of viewing things around me. My experience has taken my expertise on lights, composition and colors to a different level. My product and portrait photography journey have also helped me find a new area of specialty in photo processing – Retouching images to create a fused and seamless state of art through the photographs.

 

Peek into my hobbies: To me, travelling and clicking pictures are like oxygen that help me thrive day in and day out. When I am not being a photographer, I am into adventure cycling across various terrains, camping and trekking (The Indian Hillbilly and a Travel Junkie)!
