INTERVIEW
“It is difficult to
capture the ‘soul’ of
a person. It shines
through their eyes
or surfaces for a
split second on their
faces and evaporates.
It takes great deal
of effort to press
the shutter at the
right moment. Like
catching a bird.”

What lens do you use the most, and why?
While travelling, Nikon D750 with
24-70mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.4 are my
choices of equipment. This combination
satisfactorily covers wide angle as well
as portrait focal lengths. Also, this
combination is light to travel with. A
circular polarizer and an ND filter is a
must for landscape photographers, as they
are handy in most situations.
Any additional accessories?
• BlackRapid camera strap
• A hard shelled memory card case and
lot of memory cards
• A lens-pen and/or microfiber cloth
• Extra batteries
• Remote release and timer
