Photographers see what others only take a glimpse of. Photography is a therapy. It is putting one&#8217;s eye and one&#8217;s heart on the same axis. A good photograph is one that communicates fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. <strong>A Photograph is a story that cannot be put into words.<\/strong> Photography is the beauty of life, captured. It takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. It is a love affair with life. Photography is a raw ticket to a moment otherwise gone.

What is there and how you interpret it visually, will always have a distinction and that&#8217;s what adds to the uniqueness of the images. One is not only presenting the world through a camera, but also how one perceives it and that individualistic approach is important, I suppose.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_359089\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-359089\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"359089\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/natgeo-shortlist-artist-ashima-raizada-interview-student-stories\/1qligweb1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/11163347\/1QlIGwEb1.jpg?fit=512%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"512,512\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1QlIGwEb1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;WANDER- Ashima Raizada&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/11163347\/1QlIGwEb1.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/11163347\/1QlIGwEb1.jpg?fit=512%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-359089\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/11163347\/1QlIGwEb1.jpg?resize=512%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ashima raizada shot interview student stories\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/11163347\/1QlIGwEb1.jpg?resize=512%2C512&#038;ssl=1 512w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/11163347\/1QlIGwEb1.jpg?resize=512%2C512&#038;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/11163347\/1QlIGwEb1.jpg?resize=512%2C512&#038;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-359089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WANDER- Ashima Raizada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>5) What is art according to you ?<\/h3>\n<p>Art is a feeling, pure instinctual energy, permitting me to see the <strong>light &amp; hope amidst desolation<\/strong>.
