What inspired me to take up photography

Updated: Feb 10, 2019

I got my first camera when I was 17 yrs old. I initially started with college assignments, family trips etc. But what triggered the passion for photography was the earthquake in Nepal.The earthquake had destroyed most of the beautiful monuments that I had captured during our college excursion just ten months before the disaster.

Later, as I was toying with the idea of making a career of this wonderful art called photography, my friend and I came across a 30-day-photography challenge on Pinterest and we thought we should give it a try. Doing the challenge was a major boost to my confidence. I then started posting photos regularly on Facebook and Instagram. The encouragement from my family and friends led me to start my own blog, Thurrya Vontivillu Photoblog. Later, I went on to pursue a photography course at Light and Life academy. Now fully geared with all the training from LLA, I wish to become a professional at Product and Food Photography which I am keenly interested in.


Below are a few images I shot on my Nepal trip.
