Dhruv Dhakan is an Ahmedabad based street photographer. Working as a telecom engineer in Dubai, he pursued photography as a hobby, later to realize it was more than just that. Since moving back home to turn his passion into his profession, he enjoys documenting life and people in his hometown and across places in India. While aesthetics matter, Dhruv strongly believes that it is the content of a picture that stays with the viewer.
Dhruv says :“Buy books, not gear” – One of the best ways to learn / Inspire is by looking at the pictures from the masters. The books are made for a reason, save a few here and there and buy books of masters whose work appeal you as a person and later on one can try to incorporate with his/her own work. It’s a learning process, experiment with everything. Shoot as often you can, once you find your niche, settle down with it and try to take that to a next level. In this process don’t forget to enjoy life/Relations as they come.
