About me
Prabha Jayesh Patel, Homemaker, live in a joint family and Passionate Street / Documentary Photographer.
I started my photography journey few years back under the guidance of mentor, Vineet Vohra sir,
who is Co-Founder/CEO: artphotofuture.com – APF Magazine Street Photography group.
Believing photography as a medium to express my words to world I started my journey.
As a student of small village school and graduating with limited resources, never got opportunity so far to express my thoughts regarding the importance of education and the power it has to change the world. But photography helped me to explore my thought around the same by allowing me to work on different project of Blind girls to salt life workers, giving closer look to the reality faced by them. With this, photography also helped me to build a self-confidence and improve my communication skills. I firmly believe that there’s not a single skill that one cannot achieve with belief and hard work.
When I started photography, awards were not my goal. I do photography as I believe it's a way of life to me, but as the time progressed I did get acknowledged for my work by :
