Vishal Kawatra

A Photographer or as I like to say, a Digital Historian. I'll introduce the team; Nikon 36-megapixel D800 , Rugged American Eagle DIY waxed messenger bag Bag and my self . I also would like say that all those individuals and locations captured by the lens are also part of this team.

My fascination with the camera began at an early age, I can thank my grandfather, first generation Kawatra immigrant to England. It was him who that gave me the first opportunity to take pictures, but with a purpose. He taught me how to capture the object of focus ,how to try to capture the message, emotion the feeling that was being transmitted at that split second.

some may say that you lose the opportunity to appreciate a moment when you are using a camera. I beg to differ, I not only experience that moment but I feel I am provide society a service. I am able to bring these captured images to those that would not have in a normal circumstance view these moments.

Many believe photography is a learned skill that requires significant training, I do agree. And just as important is your equipment like your GLASS(lens). Those in the trade like myself know that sometimes it's more important the lens you have on the actual camera then the actual camera itself.

However, I do strongly feel that the photography is an art and it has a component of intuition and innate ability to foresee a great picture.

Many try to force this art to a completely technical system but that is where many end up CHIMPING or having a BOKEH picture as a result.
