Avid Photographer Shivu K Captures. Beauty Results.

Photography came into him purely because of his passion towards seeing beauty. “I was this kind of a man who liked taking pictures of others more than posing, primarily among friends”, he says when asked about his take to the art of capturing. Deep into a conversation with him I realise that he is someone who understands beauty best. “When someone comes to me and asks me how to capture a good picture, the only thing I say them is to keep the camera and phone away, and play with a small child. As and when they dwell into the moment with the child, they’ll understand what beauty is and how to look for it”, says the man who also writes articles on photography for various magazines and newspapers. When asked what beauty according to him is, he quips a very confident reply- “Small children!”

Through his articles, he has reached out to many budding photographers. He believes that the art of photography must be taught in a simple manner and not with a curriculum. He also believes that every person is gifted with creativity. “All it takes is the right way of kindling the creative aspect in one, for him to make it big”.
Any doubt on the abilities of the talented man would be laid to rest by the following words of his- “People today go gaga over photos taken on their phones and DSLRs. What they fail to understand is that, is the difference of a worthy click and just a random shot. Everything we see and click can be called as photos; only one among the many that has all the artistic values and can drown a person in it is called a ‘picture’. The ‘picture’ will be something along with appreciation, will give one immense satisfaction. This satisfaction has no parallels”.

This man who leads a very simple life seeks inspiration from the great A.P.J Abdul Kalam. “The positive vision and the extreme thinking of Kalam sir stands as an example to all”.

Shivu sums up by telling, “Silence is the key that unlocks the mystery of finding beauty. Sit down and have a little chat with yourself; without phones or anything around. Open this door and you will be answered with your own beauty. The heart is where the beauty will resound. It is inside everyone”.
