Psychiatrist by profession – Photographer by passion, Manaan hails from Calcutta, India, and is currently settled in Oxford, UK. He started photography at the age of 19 when his mother presented him with a Zenith K22 for a trek to Tapovan, Himalayas. Since then he has come a long way. Like many others he too went digital starting with a Nikon D100. Wildlife is his specialty, but he also likes shooting landscapes, architecture and dance recitals. To him every photograph is a challenge, a challenge to immortalize a moment in time, not just what the eyes see but also the unspoken emotion that goes into the CLICK as the shutter falls. In his own words ‘In a world full of chaos, photography is the recess of peace and sanity.’
