Hi, I am Tittu Shaji Thomas, a Shutterbug, and a freelance travel enthusiast whose work has been featured in National Geographic, Gulf News, and various online web columns. I have been recognized and honored at Nikon International. I hail from the land of diversities - India and have been a National player in kayaking and canoeing since my childhood. Alongside my athletic pursuits, I have exhibited my talents in drawing and artistry. Apart from being a History graduate, I am also a certified Animation and Graphic designer. Through pure serendipity, I stumbled into my passion for photography in 2015. Over the past 8 years, I have honed my aesthetic sensibilities and technical skills, with a main focus on capturing the beauty and raw emotions that bring any moment to life. My candid street shots portray neglected surroundings and forlorn emotions of humanity, while I also travel to geographic hot spots in search of the next perfect shot, underlining my vision in life - 'to thrive and not just survive.' Currently, my lens is focused on genres like Travel Photography and street photography.
