Introducing 58Miles showcase photographer Gurudas Bate from Mumbai
Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got started in photography?
I am Gurudas Bate, based in Mumbai and specializing in mobile photography. I have a deep passion for street and travel photography, as well as photojournalism. My journey in photography began during the lockdown in my village, where I captured the stories and memories of my childhood. These moments are some of the best memories of my life.
What inspires your photography, and how do you choose your subjects or themes?
I firmly believe that discovering interesting stories in daily life is a fascinating aspect of photography. Traveling and connecting with people are the best inspirations for any photographer. For me, capturing stories in beautiful frames and colors is incredibly exciting.
What has been your most memorable photography project or shoot, or any inspiring story around it, and why?
I visit my native place 4-5 times a year. I believe it has many stories to tell, which bring immense pleasure and happiness to the people captured in my photographs..
What is your photography kit ? or we would say, what is in your camera bag?
I carry a small Quechua bag that holds a stand and other accessories, which makes photography more comfortable for me.
What advice would you give to photographers who are just starting out and looking to make a name for themselves?
Everyone is unique, so find your own style instead of copying others. Stories are all around us; capture them through your own perspective and immerse yourself in the place and people. This approach will make it easier to take the right pictures. Remember, likes and followers are just numbers. Discovering your own style will make you more unique. Such work will always be appreciated and endure through time.
