Basically from Punjab and based out of Bangalore, Parul Ankur Kaushal is an engineer by qualification and an artist at heart. She started her professional career as a software professional and after working for three years in two different software companies, she realized that software wasn’t something that was meant for her. Her husband, Ankur was already doing well in photography and that triggered the passion for photography in her. Photography happened to her first as a hobby, then it became a passion and in the process, it became an integral part of her life. When Parul initially started out, photography for her was nothing more than pressing a button. She believed that just buying a camera would be enough. But when it started, the world of photography seemed to grow every single day with her growing knowledge. The more she clicked, the more she was pulled by the magic called photography.

Anega Bawa is a maternity, newborn and baby photographer based in Gurgaon (Delhi NCR), India. Photography has been a part of Anega’s life since the day she was given her first camera, a used Yashica Electro 350, almost 23 years ago. The professional bent came when she was pregnant in 2012-13. Anega is involved in all the aspects of her work –from photographing, retouching to creating backdrops, weaving props, designing clothes, styling and everything in-between. She considers her design sense and attention to detail as her most valuable assets. Anega lives with her husband and is a mom to a 5-year-old daughter and a 5-month-old son.“I did my own maternity shoot and later when I had a baby girl, I started photographing her. So my daughter has been my true inspiration”, says Anega. “I have also photographed myself in my second pregnancy.”Anega suffered postpartum depression after her second child was born with a cleft palate. She used photography as an anchor to lift her out and to accept and celebrate her newly born son.

Debojyoti Biswas is a Kolkata based kids, family and wedding photographer. His mantra is to capture the most amazing moments of each child he comes across. He is crazy about kids and has a method to his madness. As soon as he meets a child for a portrait shoot, he gets down to its level, he squats, sits, kneels, screams and does whatever it takes to make them look into his face and makes them super comfortable around him. He is inspired by the movie ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ and just like in the movie, he likes to create, through his photography style, an imaginary world where dinosaurs, lions, tigers and elephants live.
