Bored Panda reached out to Aaditya Shrirang Bhat and asked some questions about his unique sunset photos. First, we found out how he discovered his passion for photography: “I started my hobby of photography during the lockdown. I bought a smartphone for the first time because of my online classes.”

"After the online classes, I used to walk around with my mobile phone in the field behind our house, in the forest as a pastime and suddenly if I saw any insects, butterflies, snakes, or birds, I would slowly take pictures of them. I used to share them on my social media profile. Slowly the interest grew. Before this, I had never even picked up a camera or mobile. The reason why I have taken all the photos to date only with mobile is that it is easy to handle and the price is also low compared to a camera.”

The photographer shared with us that now it’s been 3 years since he became more interested in photography. Asked if he took any courses or learned everything about photography himself, Aaditya answered: “No, I didn’t take any courses. I slowly developed my own photography by practicing using social media a bit.”

Reminds me of a game I used to play. On the commodore and there was a river and a plant that grew an orb like this, descriptive I know, but that is all I can remember, it was many years ago..

We were wondering what inspired Bhat to photograph nature. We learned that: “Nature is my favorite subject so I like to use natural elements artistically in my pictures. Also, when I see beautiful animals while walking in the forest, I can’t stop the temptation to take pictures of them.”

Next, we wanted to know what kind of photography is Aaditya’s favorite. He told us: “Till now I have done a lot of macro, creative, sunset, nature landscape, and astro photography. I love creative and macro photography.”

I'm ashamed to admit that it took me way too long to figure out that this isn't a nope rope.

Love how the cells of the dragonfly's wings glow, like a stained glass piece.

It's weird how a spider can go from being terrifying and gross, but put in a perspective like this and it feels beautiful, like it has more meaning in the grand scheme of things.
