Hi, I am Manolya, a photographer based in Delhi NCR region, India. A self-taught artist specializing in landscape, travel and cultural heritage with an absolute appreciation for the natural world, I am also an eager enthusiast about environmental and cultural influences upon the society, thereby creating content that raises necessary awareness and provokes a thought.

​

An  MBA by my education and training, and having worked in the corporate sector for about three years, my first solo trip led me to pursue full time travel and photography, close to my heart and true to my nature.

​

The solidarity of being alone in nature with nothing but a camera by my side, I have come to realize that the real beauty of an opinion that a picture can paint in the mind of the viewers could not be better defined than the beautiful quote by David DuChemin – “Photographing a culture in the here and now often means photographing the intersection of the present with the past.”

 

I am here to create a presence.​
