Engineer by chance and a Photographer by choice

For now, it's a regular question from my friends and colleagues, if you wanted to do photography then why you persuaded engineering. As I belong to a very conservative Muslim family and not so privileged background, I had never thought photography as a hobby for someone like me. When I cleared my 10th, My family wanted me to persue civil engineering as my career, because my father and elder brother were working in the same industry. In college, I used to click random pictures by cell phone camera and I used to edit them by then available software. In year 2014, When I got familiar about Instagram, I used to post my pictures, fortunately recieved positive responses and it encouraged me to explore more about photography.

I still remember back in December 2017, One Interior Designing studio wanted to purchase a few pictures clicked by me but negotiations failed as my pictures were clicked by Iphone camera and they lacked quality which they needed. I was sad for a few days and also regretted it. Such small incidents make a great impact on our lives which change the whole direction. I was terrible in the beginning, improving now and want to achieve something through this in future. As i usually say, " I am an Engineer by chance and a Photographer by choice "
