Indore: A budding engineer with passion for photography

 

Indore: “Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world.”

Avi Jain, a 20-year-old city lad is pursuing civil engineering but his passion is ‘photography’. Whatever he clicks becomes a perfect picture – whether it is wildlife, forest, mountaintop or routine activities.

“I believe that I am a born photographer. I look various angles for a perfect shot as my eyes act like lenses. I have not taken any training for photography or anyone in my family was a photographer but it seems that I have the talent to click the moment,” Avi said.
Son of a Central excise officer, Avi chose civil engineering as his career to turn his imaginations into reality but photography is his passion.

“I have clicked more than 4000 photos, mainly of nature and wildlife. In the age of 20, I have visited more than half a hundred places to get a perfect shot. I have travelled from Kashmir to Kanyakumari but I think I have captured nothing much yet,” he said.

Avi has travelled from Ladhakh to Kanyakumari for capturing a memorable moment recently. “I have captured many memorable moments and have won various awards on state and city-level for the same. However, I still believe that I haven’t seen anything yet as I want to capture most place in the country and dream to see all the wonders of the world through my lens,” the young photographer said.

Earlier, his family members opposed to his decision of becoming a photographer but they started appreciating him when he received various awards including the best nature photograph in ‘PIxelwala.’

“I have a collection of more than 3000 photographs of nature and wildlife. I have visited many of the national parks. I do professional and fashion photography when I am not travelling to capture nature’s beauty,” the civil engineering student added.

He learned photography from city’s well known photographer Pawan Pawar and Wales’s Andy Rouse is his ideal photographer.

“I heard some famous lines of Robert Frost,’ Miles to go before I sleep.’ I also follow the same thing and believe that I have ‘millions to click before I sleep’,” he chuckled.
