A Photographic Story - Manoj Aryan (Celerbrity photographer)
One-on-One
1. Early influences that shaped your sensibilities?
Well, I used to be a medical science student who left the dentistry to follow his passion for Art. Since childhood, I was inclined towards painting & sketching and used to participate in various competitions and by the god's grace, eventually won many medals as well. This passion of mine led me to choose photography as a career which itself is a form of art. One thing I would like to share here is that I never took any formal classes or assisted any photographer prior to starting my photography career.It happened to be a long-time back ( around ten years ago). I still remember my first fashion shoot for designer Tanieya Khanuja which I shot using the Air cooler grass stacks and some wild vegetation ( in India we call them "Sarkande" if I am not wrong ). The shoot started around 9 PM in the night and continued till morning. That shoot gave me a lot of confidence as it got printed over the Will lifestyle Magazine cover page. You can imagine the excitement and motivation it gave me as I was a very newbie at that time.
Yes, you are right and since the beginning of my career as a photographer, it had always been experimentation for me as I always avoided to work with reference images. References influence your thoughts as they kill your imagination and creativity. I always wanted to create something new and unique in its own way. I never followed any particular style and kept my creative juices flowing. To me as an artist, this whole world inspires me every day and most of the time I make on spot concepts of my shoots.
