More about Rohit J....
What do you love about your job?
When i look at an art work, may that be a painting, photograph or a sculpture it inspires me to create something with my own hands, that is meaningful and possibly also a gift, a way of giving. My images are often minimalistic and so is my life. Great design excites me, whether its furniture, a piece of jewellery or architecture, it brings a child like twinkle in my eyes. I have been fortunate enough to live my passion, to safeguard it with a selective approach and have this enormous appetite to learn, excel, and experience endlessly.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I primarily photograph Weddings, Events, Architecture and Portraits. Having photographed weddings for so long i feel as though i am a jack of all trades. Starting from portraiture, candid documentary moments to still life accessories, food, landscape, fashion, editorial etc. a Wedding tends to include all. Depending on the day and the setting one has to be keen, in the moment and immersed to be able to capture the true essence of the day and tell a story that brings all these individual elements together in a beautiful and creative fashion.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
To me to be able to live the passion and dream that i am living is in itself the greatest reward.
A fun fact about this photographer
8 years ago i gave up on everything to pursue my passion for photography... I will tell you another one, a beautiful photographer once told me that even in the darkest of places if you look keenly enough you will find the light, since then i have valued natural light to the utmost and made it the very essence of my work
