Having travelled across the country – from the mountains of Ladakh and Spiti to the jungles of Madhya Pradesh with his parents – he also developed an insatiable appetite for travel. After getting his first camera in 2010, and then moving to Germany for studies, his passion for travel and photography only increased. Having photographed and travelled around 37 countries till date, he continues living in Germany with his wife and daughter. Along with his profession, Avishek also runs a YouTube channel and a website under the name of ‘The Wandering Chubbies’ with the support of his wife.

■ What inspired you to get into landscape photography? How did your journey start?

Travel and photography have always been around me since my childhood. My father is a passionate photographer and for years, I have seen him practising his art. Add to that my parents’ love for the mountains, which meant that every summer we would go trekking in the Himalayas.
