Meet Preeti Sharma: The 1st Winner of WallMag Dussehra Contest 2020

WallMag: What made you interested in photography?

I am not a professional photographer, but my love for photography started when I first got my mobile phone in graduation. There was a competition at my university, and I participated for the first time, and I got the prize. After that, I started to participate in more competitions. Few people admired my photographs a lot that gave me a positive vibe to keep learning and keep clicking.

WallMag: What type of photography do you like? Are you a self-taught photographer or have learned it from somewhere?

I am a self-taught photographer, and I am still learning. I like to capture landscapes, nature, and portraits.

WallMag: How would you define your photography style?

My style of photography is totally inspired by nature. I like the contrasting colors of plants and insects, and I always try to capture them in a perfect frame with appropriate light.

WallMag: What do you like the most about photography?

From my childhood, I was very interested in paintings, and for me, photography is a kind of art with the perfect blending of colors and light, and that’s why I am more fascinated by nature photography.

WallMag: Who is your inspiration in Photography and why?

I can’t mention just one person, but, I am inspired by Rathika Ramasamy. I really love her work. And, the second person I would like to mention is Mayuresh Hendre, the winner of Wallmag Wildlife Photography Awards 2020. His winning photograph has a great impact on me.

WallMag: What keeps you motivated?

I believe that only we can motivate ourselves. In my case, I think we should keep trying to get the best out of us. I am still a learner and I will keep learning.
