Anoop Negi, photographer par excellence, entrepreneur with interests in wine and cheese making and a friend-philosopher-guide to many. Anoop's viewfinder always tells a compelling story, vivid colors celebrating life is his trademark style. Behind the viewfinder is a gentle and wonderful human being, his perspective (as one of his friend said), seems to come from a deeply spiritual place.
Anoop graciously agreed to share a bit more than what he normally does in this interview. Some insights that I feel every budding photographer would enjoy.
Q: How did you get started with photography and what motivated you to shoot when you started?Anoop graciously agreed to share a bit more than what he normally does in this interview. Some insights that I feel every budding photographer would enjoy.
A: I guess it must have been the visual impact of the Life magazine that one used to see in the school library. Those larger than life images of people and events were the first kindling of the fire to capture “moments” and events. The translation into actual taking of photographs was many years later when one could afford to buy a camera. No iconic images, no haloed photographers, no such motivation existed for me.
