Ingenious shutterbuggerz is my blog which is dedicated to artists and photographers of all the genres. The blog name to many may sound as something which is meant only for photographers, however, one note of clarification that this blog will feature art of any genre and type.
The first Ingenious Shutterbugger to be featured on this blog is someone who is not just passionate about photography, but someone who wears many hats and yet is able to do perfect justice to all the roles he plays.
An engineer by profession, he’s also a diehard biker, a DJ and a photographer by heart, mind and soul. He’s also dabbled in interior designing and aims to create reforms with his photography. This person is young, energetic and very creative Sumanth Raj Urs. His latest addition in the list of accolades is his brainchild Chayakruthi. As the Director of Chayakruthi, Sumanth and his team aim to not just give new talent a chance to display their abilities but also groom them in the art that they so passionately love.
Sumanth’s affection for the camera began at a very early age. That was the time when he used to borrow a camera from family or friends to keep up his love for the art of photography. Many times people turned down his requests and inspite of all the odds he managed to keep up his fondness for photography alive. When he got his own camera, a DSLR it was like the bird who had found its wings. And so did he soar gaining heights of excellence and learning new things every single day. Today people not just know but respect Sumanth for his work and his creativity which shows his unbridled dedication and hard work.
A self taught photographer Sumanth draws his inspiration from just about anything and everything. He describes his journey from being an amateur photographer to a professional as a thorough learning experience. This is not all Sumanth is also actively involved with institutions that prevent cruelty towards animals. His photographs on the same topic fetched him accolades. His documentary on chicken slaughter was featured on PETA India Today.
Chayakruthi’s first ever exhibition was held in Bangalore and was received well by people of all ages and genres. The next exhibition focuses on catching the bungle in the jungle and is going to be a total visual treat for all those people who enjoy wildlife.
Ingenious shutterbuggerz wishes Sumanth and Chayakruthi lots of good luck for all his future endeavours and dreams.
