About the author
After spending two stimulating decades in the corporate world, Mahesh accidentally discovered his true calling and experienced a burst of talent. And so what started as a hobby in 2004 on a holiday trip grew into a passion, inevitably becoming his profession in 2005.
And so pursuing his avid talent he completely switched tracks in 2005 to photography embracing the natural wildlife and beauty surrounding us. Thus staying true to his calling, his style goes beyond “documenting a moment” or capturing pretty pictures. Using natural light, camera techniques and his gifted flair, Mahesh highlights and dramatizes the beauty of nature allowing us to pear into the exquisite world we forget we are living in.
Entrapped by his creativity and enamored by the potential of a single flash, his work today embodies timeless, digital masterpieces, captured in a click, which effortlessly highlight and dramatize the intoxicating beauty and simplicity of nature.
Mahesh envisions earth as a natural masterpiece, whose beauty is being tucked away in this jaded man made world. And so through his pictures he captures inimitable images, allowing us to admire the long forgotten natural beauty that surrounds us.
Besides his unique insight of nature’s beauty, Mahesh is also actively involved in the conversation of nature. His works have been showcased several times by organizations such as WWF. And through “Let there be Light”, he wishes to remind all of the precious gifts we have been endowed with and hopes to inspire all to preserve them.
