about me
Hi, my name is Akshay. I’m 19 and based near the Chicagoland Area. Growing up near such a large city has given me plenty of opportunities to explore the beauty of dense urban areas, however, my parents have given me the privilege to explore other parts of the world, as I’ve been traveling since before I can remember.
The privilege of visiting national parks has sparked my passion for capturing what I see. I originally started my hobby as a film photographer because I was lucky enough to find an old automatic 35mm camera in a Goodwill. From there, I salvaged a Nikon D3500 DSLR Camera, and by the time I was working, I signed up for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I’ve been granted opportunities from my school and friends to expand my photography skills.
I'm currently employed in the city and have every opportunity I've ever wanted to explore and photograph many different genres of art.
