Story Behind
Travelling
through the lens
▪ Eakagra Galav
It
was my 19th birthday and I came from dehradun to bareilly just one
day before the eve to attend a alumni meet in my school after long discussion
with friends and family I reached the sweet destination. I met with my family
they were pleased to see me after one month just after reaching there and
greeting everybody, I asked my sister “ what to wear tomorrow in school alumni
?” she replied “ we will discuss bro, it’s your birthday tomorrow !“ clock hit 12 and everyone wished me with
great enthusiasm and happiness and finally we slept. The day begins after the
morning alarm and I went to school with my friends there everyone was wishing
me and were excited to be a part of first alumni meet of DPS, bareilly. After
the show started we all were busy taking pictures. I took lots of pictures in
my phone including school’s infrastructure, gardens, sports ground portraits
and many group pictures. The day was spent well.
After three days of my birthday our phone
gallery and whatsapp was full of pictures one of my friend asked me “Eakagra!
are you interested in photography ?” I
took some time and replied “why?” she revert “I saw your passion, there in the
school you were taking loads of picture with great perfection, with that
ordinary phone” I was pleased after seeing that message I revert “thank you J but
exactly, I myself don’t know I m interested in what “ she laughed and said “ you should try for photography, I have seen
your clicked pictures on social media you are good at this , you should try for
more.
One
month later I created a new account on instagram to post my pictures I started
travelling more and exploring new places, capturing pictures of objects that
fascinate me. People supported me in my work and I had more than 1000 followers
and more than 150 posts in 4 months after I started the account. The pictures
were from places like mussorie, dehradun, rishikesh, haridwar, lansdown,
chakrata, delhi, shimla, dhanulti, tehri, meerut, bareilly, nanital and banglore
.This is how I travel through lens and my personal logo eakagra_photography got
established in 2017.
