INTRODUCTION

"It is not a refection, it is real"
Not Virtual because Photographs speak. They communicate in a language which has no words and is understood by all. Photographs are soothing, cheerful, fierce, scary, painful, joyful...  They give in the essence of the society around.

Lens man: SHREEYA DHARMATTI      

They say, "Everyone has his/her own way of learning."

                 Introduced to photography an year before teenage, this form of art has always been a great companion for Shreeya since she was 12 years old. Laughing at the precious memories of past, Shreeya says, "Baba (Dad) used to scold me if I touched or meddled with his camera." Her first memory of hearing the 'click' sound from a camera was when she had sneaked in and had secretly taken out her Dad's camera. "The first picture was a big disaster." , she recalls.  

               She entirely credits her Dad for giving her this wonderful gift for life which now happens to be a Grand Festival for her always. 

SHREEYA DHARMATTI

"Life will be a party, a grand festival, because life is the moment we are living right now."

                      Every moment she lives is always captured on her DSLR. Today being at the very moulding stage of 15 years old, Shreeya is very much in her own world and is an introvert. She is glad to have a few true and trustworthy friends. She never forgets to tell how lucky she is to have a backbone like supportive family.

                     For Shreeya, photography is a medium which gives her utter satisfaction. She proudly says that, "I don't take a photograph, I make it." 

                    After getting scolded for the obsession she has, Shreeya even sometimes says that " Photography is a disease now."
"Mom! It is transmitted from Dad to me now. The virus is all over me. It is swimming in the bloodstream. An I am too scared of visiting a doctor." Geeta Aunty ( Shreeya's Mom) cannot help smiling as she herself is a doctor. She understands Shreeya to depths and is a Perfect Mommy.

SWEET FAMILY

                   This blog was started after Shreeya got her first DSLR at the age of 15. She says, " Dad, in those days would never let me mess with his Camera, but now he takes in time to see and appreciate my photographs." 

                  Shreeya says," It is weird that I can spend whole of life time trying to capture moments that added together won't even mount to  capture a couple of hours."

YUKTHA AND SHREEYA (R to L)

                  The writing part would be done by Yuktha Bhadane, pen named as Yakira. We both are friends since 8 years and both of us love what we do today as hobbies and have an urge to excel in them. Talking more about me, I am 14 years old and is in the same grade as Shreeya's. 

                 Lastly, one should always please others as well as oneself and hence Shreeya said, "I can see that twinkle in his eyes when he enjoys and feels proud about the fact that I am slowly stepping in his shoes."

                 For me a form of expression is writing, for Shreeya it is the captured moment.
