WallMag: What made you interested in photography?

There was an exhibition in my city 10 years back, and I came to know about it. I recently had come from Himachal, just like every tourist, I had clicked a few pictures, and they got selected for the exhibition, along with some water droplet art. I used to have a digicam back then, After this, my parents got me a professional DSLR camera, and that's how it all started.

WallMag: Everybody seems to have different definitions of "street photography". Do you adhere to rigid rules or something broader? What is your definition?

I don't think this art should have had any rigid rules. Street photography as per my perspective is just shooting ordinary everyday things extraordinarily.
