As a second generation photographer in my family, based in New Delhi, India, I initially learnt photography from my father Shri Santosh Santosh (art photographer himself who has been published, exhibited and awarded in India and abroad). Later on, I sharpened my skills under the guidance of great Indian photography masters such as S Paul and T Kashinath. (father’s contemporaries). Received my first box camera at the age of 7; a German range finder at 10; and then next was the Japanese Ashi Pentex SLR by the age of 12. Thereafter, I mastered the art of black & white photography along with developing and photo printing techniques in studio at home by the age of 13.
