VARUN BASKAR

About the Photographer Having developed an early interest in fine arts, varun baskar sought to see the world with the imaginative eye, creating it through sketching and painting, initially. It was not until the end of his first year of graduation in visual communication, was he introduced to photography. Equipped with his pentax A3, he forayed into the dream world of photography. Having decided photography is the only thing he wants to do, he decided to do his masters in photography at pearl academy of fashion, Delhi which is affiliated to ICPP Melbourne university. Itching to do his own work, he started “gray card” soon after his advanced studies in photography. Largely, influenced by Ansel adams and his gray scale principle he decided to name his studio ‘gray card’
