Incredible India project by Dinesh Khanna
Then there are people who have a unique perspective. The hard-core artists. Not only are they able to see beauty in everything, they are able to add beauty to everything too. Be it a much-photographed Taj Mahal or general gatherings, discussions, exhibitions, their magical touch transforms the mundane into something special. This year we have had the pleasure of hosting a post about Dinesh Khanna, the acclaimed photographer.
"Dinesh worked variously as a Calculator Salesman, Garments Quality Checker and a Busboy in an Upper Eastside Bar in New York in his early years. This rather confused career path was due to his teenage belief that if he followed in his Photographer Father's footsteps he would be yet another victim of the Indian caste system. This rebellion further led him to a 12 year long career as a Client Servicing Executive in Advertising where he finally achieved 'burn-out' at the ripe old age of 33 years and which left him with a burning desire to become a Professional Photographer.
So in 1990 he finally succumbed to what can probably be blamed on genetic coding - the desire to make images - both as a means of making a living and as a form of creative expression. The last 25 years have seen him involved in creating images for Advertising, Editorial and Corporate clients, specifically in the area of Food, Still-life, People and Interiors.
He is actively involved in Photography education and conducts workshops and mentorship sessions regularly under his personal brand, "Photoyatri."
"I was born in Udhampur, J&K but most part of my life is spent in Delhi.
Photography was always a hobby since school days. Though I had my own camera much later in my life, I was always interested in looking at photographs in books and magazines.

Started my career in Finance after finishing my education in Commerce and specialisation in Cost Accountancy(ICWA). Spent around 13 years in this profession and bought my first SLR camera during this time. Got more involved with the camera, bought a few books for learning but the books were not much of help so ended up in attending a photography course."

Aman Chotani - "I tell stories through my pictures, I live experiences through my journey. A Professional Travel Photographer from Delhi who has found acclaim across major exhibitions and brands. My motto is to travel to beautiful, rusty, adventurous locations to capture untold stories, unseen traditions and unprecedented experiences."
"I bring a certain aesthetic sense to photography as a result of having spent over 25 years in advertising. I shoot primarily food for hotels and more recently for food tech companies that are mushrooming in Gurgaon mostly. I find food photography exciting, to work with a talented chef to make food look appealing. The challenge is to make it look so good that people order by just looking at your image. And are willing to pay a good price for a dish."
There's no denying that the selfie is one of the most accessible offshoot of the photography revolution. Almost everyone clicks selfies. But only a few take it to the next level, and beyond. Here are some stunning travel selfies by Varun Chaudhary. Click and be amazed.

If you liked this post and found it helpful, I would request you to follow these things when traveling -
- Manage your waste well and don’t litter
- Use dustbins. Tell us if you went to a place and found it hard to locate a dustbin.
- Avoid bottle waters in hills. Usually you get clean water in hills and water bottles create lot of mess in our ecosystem.
- Say big no to plastic and avoid those unhealthy snacks packed in plastic bags. Rather buy fruits.
- Don't play loud blaring music in forests of jungle camps. You are a guest in that ecosystem and disturbing the locals (humans and animals) is not polite
