Who he/she is:

The person who inspired me is my older cousin, Arjun. He is a professional travel photographer and someone I’ve admired for a long time. He’s extremely passionate about his work and has a very creative mind, which always fascinated me.

How do you know him/her:

I’ve known Arjun since I was a child because he’s a close family member. We’ve spent many vacations together, and over time, we developed a strong bond. Although he’s a bit older than me, we share many common interests, especially in the field of arts and creativity.

What interesting thing you did:

With his encouragement, I took up photography. Initially, I didn’t think much of it, but when I started using a camera and learning basic techniques, I got hooked. Eventually, I joined a local photography club, participated in weekend photo walks, and even exhibited my work in a small community gallery. It turned into an unexpectedly exciting and rewarding hobby.

How he/she inspired you to do it:

Arjun inspired me by sharing his experiences and showing me his photographs from around the world. He spoke about how photography changed the way he looked at everyday life – how it made him more observant, patient, and expressive. His passion was so genuine that it rubbed off on me. He also took time to guide me, lent me his old camera, and encouraged me whenever I doubted myself. His belief in me made all the difference.
