Hey Premjith! Where are you in the world and what are you working on right now?
I’m an engineer, currently based in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and I’m working for a multinational company here. However, I have always loved photography too. I picked up a camera for the first time around 36 years ago, and I’ve never had a dull day since. I mainly photograph Formula 1 racing as I have the Bahrain International Circuit right on my doorstep. However I equally love shooting landscape and travel photography, astrophotography and also other sports, including rallying, skiing, sailing and golf.
Tell us more about your journey in photography. What made you start shooting professionally?
When I decided to start taking photographs, I just captured whatever interested me. I used to paint and draw and this helped me consider my framing and compositions in my photos. I love to see the world, usually with my wife and children, chasing my dreams and capturing them with my camera.
