Introduction

Hello, I'm Sudeep Gurumayum from Manipur. I love Photography and it became my hobby since my childhood. I came to know that I acquired this hobby because of my father's interest in photography. My father has a keen interest in documenting various events through photography. So as a result, there are number of photo albums at my residence. During my childhood, I used my father's roll camera to click pictures but almost all the pictures went wrong because of alignment errors and other issues as well. After that my father got a new Sony digital camera during the year 2007. I was very excited to know that my father bought a new digital camera and I still remember the night when my father bought the camera. From that day I started to gain knowledge of Photography while capturing pictures like correcting the alignment errors, exposures, etc. I was not good enough to click an average picture at that time but developed later. Then during the year 2009, I started documenting short children films with my cousin brother, Arvind Gurumayum. Nearly two documentary children films were completed during that time. Whenever I went out for any events, I took the camera and clicked pictures of the events. As a part of my hobby, I made slideshows of the pictures that I have clicked with background music. From that stage onwards I started using Adobe Photoshop on my father's laptop to edit the pictures. Starting from the year 2010, I have been capturing many good pictures which gave me the endless interest in the field of Photography. As the technology grows very fast, there were endless number of good cameras, so I asked my mother to buy a good camera for me but my mother refused to do so saying that I have to pay more attention to studies more than what I did in photography. But I didn't lose hope instead I used other cameras of my uncle, my aunt to click pictures. And then with the partnership of my friend Ranalcis Rajkumar, who also has the same hobby like mine, we opened a Facebook page named as "Amazing Photography" to upload our good pictures. This page was well known to all my friend circles. After that, a new page "Nongin Photography" named after the state bird Nongin, was created. During the Manipur Sangai Festival 2013, I have submitted some of my photographs for the photo exhibition held during the festival. I got good comments for that from my friends and family members. My dream of a DSLR camera came true after my 12th standard exam. My parent gave me a DSLR camera as a gift after which I joined a basic photography workshop under Sir Sanjoy Warepam, owner of Shutter Speed Photography, Chingmeirong. The workshop helped me in developing the skills and techniques of photography and raised me to a better level, unlike before. As the time goes on, I came to Architecture and luckily photography came out to be an important part in Architecture which I haven't hope about it. So lastly I would like to thank everyone for your appreciation, encouragement, support that led me to a better way of Photography
