A journey that inspire – @nwinphoto

“I like to bring out the best candid moments of people”, says Naveen Janga, a professional photographer. His story of being an introverted photographer inspires us to explore and indulge with one’s passion. His story started back then in 2007 when Naveen’s mother presented a phone that had a camera, he started to click pictures of his friends, streets, etc.
In 2011, he started working as a physiotherapist. Eventually, Naveen realized his passion for photography and saved money to buy his first cyber shot camera in 2014.
After 3 years of journey with his very first camera, he then bought his second camera in 2017, explored every street in Hyderabad, captured stories of people.
Being an introvert it was very hard for me to ask people to pose, rather I would click candid pictures and share that moment with the person and the smile on their face feels like an accomplishment, says Naveen. Naveen also shares an amazing word of his, “I’ll also have their contact and send them the digital prints of their photographs as a sign of gratitude because they let me click pictures & they encourage me in doing a wonderful job”.
“Language was never a barrier for Naveen”, at times he clicks pictures of people from other states and the language they speak is difficult for him to understand, and the best reply I could ever give them is my smile, says Naveen. Isn’t it beautiful?
Here comes a different dimension in Naveen’s journey, meeting Saurab Chatterjee, a travel photographer. He recognized Naveen’s passion for photography and offered him photo works for free and also gave him a chance to work with him. Yet another accomplishment in Naveen’s journey is where his friend “Murthy Gaaru” supported him to participate in the Sony BBC photography competition. But there was an obstacle for Naveen with the deadline, few hours left for the submission. He collected a few of his previous photos and submitted them, and here we go, he has won the competition and was awarded a camera, the same camera with which he had clicked the pictures for the competition.
Isn’t it wonderful to know such a passionate journey of a photographer ?
