Photography has been my passion, profession, and lifelong commitment for more than three decades. Since beginning my journey in 1988, I have worked as a freelance photojournalist, international photography mentor, educator, exhibition organizer, and judge, dedicating my career to promoting photography and nurturing photographers.

In 1996, I became a member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA). Since then, I have actively encouraged photographers to participate in international salons, pursue global recognition, and develop their skills while maintaining the highest standards of photographic excellence and ethics.

My journey has also been deeply connected with building photographic communities. I have founded and led organizations including the Wildlife Photography Association of India (WPAI), JCM Photographic Society, Navodaya Photographic Club, and New Image Club Itarsi.

Through these platforms, I have organized and supported numerous international salons, circuits, workshops, exhibitions, photowalks, competitions, and educational programs, creating opportunities for thousands of photographers to learn, participate, and grow.

As a mentor and educator, I believe photography is more than capturing an image—it is about seeing, understanding, and telling stories. My aim is to help photographers discover their individual vision, gain confidence, and connect with the wider photographic community.

After more than three decades, my passion remains unchanged: to promote photography, inspire photographers, share knowledge, and contribute to the growth of photography in India and across the world.
