I’m a photographer based in Varanasi (Kashi), India, as well as the sole owner of Saurabh Thakur Photography Studio. Born and brought up in Varanasi (Kashi), I love being rooted in my hometown. I first fell in love with photography in 2014, developing my passion while capturing the Ghats and lanes of Varanasi. Gradually, I started creating concepts or theme-based photography, eventually entering the world of fashion photography through commercial photoshoots. Though my camera has changed over the years, it has always been my prized possession. I love being able to capture the beauty I see in everything I choose to photograph. I found myself taking up offers from clients, becoming a professional photographer. I’m proud to say that I’ve dedicated 10 years of hard work and effort to this profession, making it worthwhile. When I participated in the Kashi Sansad Photography Competition, I secured the first position, and the biggest moment came when I was awarded by our Honourable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji. Now I can say that I’ve carved out a distinct place in Varanasi as a photographer, but a true artist is never satisfied with his work and is always in search of perfection.
