Kaushik, is a Bombay based photographer, who has a decade’s experience in photography. He began his photography career as a writer/photographer and later branched out on his own. He now works with corporate clients and advertising agencies. His long cherished dream is however to explore photography as an Art form.
Why are you a photographer?
Photography is an opportunity to see things differently. To hold moments. I like to see things differently. My parents too had a big role to play in my choice of career.
My father, who maintained a  strict veneer thanks to a military mindset, had a sensitive side that he passed on to me. I remember once when I was very young and strolling with him in a garden, he pointed to a leaf high above and  said, “even leaves have eyes.” I took his word for it. I think it since then I have been observing things very differently.
My mother being a trained classical singer, I was  introduced to music rather subconsciously. Music being a regular thing in our household a sense of rhythm was infused into me.
Balance, rhythms, aesthetics, space, repetitions, flow, simplicity and an element of surprise are few of the very important senses in photography, like in life. How you amalgamate them, is what its all about. That’s why I am a photographer.
