Photography entered my life as a need, became a hobby and incubated as passion. It is one of the beautiful things gifted to me by five years of Architecture journey. Untill then, I believed, that spaces, people and memories are only to be experienced and cherished in that moment. It is when I started seeing through the lens, shaped and sensitized by the new world I was exposed to - Design and Architecture, Photography became the expression of how I perceived space and people. It has been an enriching journey since, of learning at every click, exploring new angles and polishing my lens. Manali Bapat

Capturing portraits needs empathy. It needs the photographer to understand what the subject feels the best about itself and bring it to the surface.
