capturing India through the eyes of Rakesh JV

From a nontraditional start in Instructional Design, Indian photographer Rakesh JV (Rakesh Vijayan) currently dedicates his weekends to roaming the streets of Bangalore and beyond, capturing vivid moments of everyday life. After first earning a degree in Engineering (Electrical and Communications), Rakesh made the transition into street photography, propelled by the motto, "A photograph is usually looked at ; seldom looked into." Although occupied with a full-time office job, Rakesh manages to find time to engage with his community through portrait and event photography. Since his start, he has gained recognition on international photography blogs and won awards on several forums and in photography contests. [1]
