Hills and Valleys

October 25, 2014 by SPEdit Team

H(11_2014_Hills-and-Valleys)1Kamal Khawar is a photo-artist from one of the beautiful hilly regions of India, Uttarakhand, popularly known as Devbhoomi. He was born in Pantnagar, and brought up in Almora. The beauty of Almora has left an indelible mark on his mind. He also deeply appreciates and admires the glory of the hills and valleys around this town.

His father is an artist too, and Kamal has inherited the artistic ability from him. He had a keen desire to portray the beauty of nature since his childhood. His career into photography started seriously in 1994 when he started clicking pictures from his cousin’s Nikon FM-2 camera. At that time, he was not aware that his hobby would turn into his passion. This camera changed his way of life and gradually, his skills started developing. He completed a Diploma in Photography from Rohilkhand University, Bareilly in 2007 in order to increase his knowledge of the profession. Today, Kamal is a popular photo-artist of his region. Some of his works have been published, and he has won quite a few awards in photography competitions. Kamal is a serious trekker, which is of great help in photography. It gives him opportunity to explore untouched places.
