Mohamed Rafi

Basically I am a web/Graphic Designer located in Pondicherry, INDIA. I do love photography from my childhood. Those days it was never possible for me to touch the cameras. I began my career as a graphic designer. I worked in India and Dubai as a senior web designer. I keep checking the books and magazines about photography and finally I got a good DSLR. I bought my first camera Canon 550D with 18-55 kit Lens in 2011. I realized that every moment is unique in our life and I tried to freeze them in my vision with my gears.

I am an Amateur photographer who is looking beyond this world with his vision. I do photography in my free time and weekends only. Due to family and official commitments presently I am working as a Lead Web/UI designer In French Offshore Development company. In 2012 I went for an onsite assignment in Jonzac- France. A pure French countryside where you can see lot of wine yards, beautiful landscapes which is an ideal place for Photography.

I have got many recognition's and appreciations from top photographers from national and international levels, featured in few local magazines as well. All these helped me a lot to explore more about Photography. I love to chase the lights and would like to explore in all kind of photography with no limit. I take the pictures when the moment I feel to take from my inner heart and mind.
