Bored Panda reached out to Aaditya Shrirang Bhat and asked some questions about his unique sunset photos. First, we found out how he discovered his passion for photography: “I started my hobby of photography during the lockdown. I bought a smartphone for the first time because of my online classes.”

"After the online classes, I used to walk around with my mobile phone in the field behind our house, in the forest as a pastime and suddenly if I saw any insects, butterflies, snakes, or birds, I would slowly take pictures of them. I used to share them on my social media profile. Slowly the interest grew. Before this, I had never even picked up a camera or mobile. The reason why I have taken all the photos to date only with mobile is that it is easy to handle and the price is also low compared to a camera.”

The photographer shared with us that now it’s been 3 years since he became more interested in photography. Asked if he took any courses or learned everything about photography himself, Aaditya answered: “No, I didn’t take any courses. I slowly developed my own photography by practicing using social media a bit.”

We were wondering what inspired Bhat to photograph nature. We learned that: “Nature is my favorite subject so I like to use natural elements artistically in my pictures. Also, when I see beautiful animals while walking in the forest, I can’t stop the temptation to take pictures of them.”

Next, we wanted to know what kind of photography is Aaditya’s favorite. He told us: “Till now I have done a lot of macro, creative, sunset, nature landscape, and astro photography. I love creative and macro photography.”

Lastly, we asked Aaditya Shrirang Bhat if photography is his full-time job, and we found out: “No, at the moment mobile photography is my hobby, but I would like to pursue a photography career.”
