Back to the Basics

My last post was way back quite a few years now . But now hope that I am quite regular with my Diary. Well in the last 4 plus years got me involved into Salons – Photographic Competitions. In these 4 plus years , I feel fully satisfied that I received more than 11000 Acceptances, 1100 plus national & International Awards, 100 plus times BEST INDIAN ENTRANT , more than 30 Honours & Distinctions, work exhibited in more than 65 countries. During this journey I was also ranked World’s No 8 Top Travel Photographer & World’s No 9 Top Monochrome Photographer by Photographic Society of America -2017. I was ranked Worlds No 1 in Acceptances in all time honour list of International Union of Photographers – China

Recipient of Best Overseas Photographer Award -2017 at Guangzhou ,China Only person in the globe to be conferred with Hon.AIUP and I am also the Ambassador India for IUP-China under Cultural Exchange Program . First Indian to get all honours & Distinctions of IUP-China. Had the honours to be International Juror in India , China and Romania .

During this period I was a part of International Projects also . In year 2017 was Chief Co-ordinator of Photo Exhibition -” Indo Vietnam Cultural Connections’ at Chandigarh, India celebrating 45 years of India and Vietnam Cultural Connections. In year 2018 and 2019 I was a part of TEAM of Top 10 photographers across the world from different countries to undertake a government of Romania project – ” Discover Bihor” an assignment to promote the county Bihor in Oradea, Romania. In year 2019 my one month Photo Exhibition – Beyond Barriers was organised at the State Hall at Oradea from 26th September 2019 to 25th October 2019.

With all these and MANY MORE other Achievements , I had stopped participating in any Salons since 1st April 2020. Now I feel my spare time must groom talent and photo enthusiasts .Most importantly I in association with Punjab Tourism and Cultural Department was involved in an assignment of a Photo Documentation on covering Gurdwaras in Punjab where Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji had traversed during his various Udasis. To commemorate 550th Anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji at Sultanpur Lodhi, Kapurthala, Punjab a Grandeur Photo Exhibition was held from 5th Nov- 12th Nov 2019 to a great response and success. Subsequently this Photo Exhibition was also held at Malout , Punjab and Tagore Theatre Chandigarh . Will apprise you more in my Next Post. Stay Tuned
