Beyond the Code: A Passion for Photography

I was about 2 feet away, face-to-face with this ground squirrel when I took this picture in Marina, CA.

While I spend a lot of my time immersed in logic and code, there's another world I love to explore—the world through the lens of a camera. Photography has been a deep passion of mine for years, offering a creative outlet that perfectly complements the structured nature of software engineering. It's a way to capture moments, tell stories, and see the beauty in the everyday.

My Focus

My photographic journey has led me to focus on a few key areas that I find endlessly inspiring:

• Nature & Wildlife: There's something truly special about capturing the raw, untouched beauty of the natural world, from vast landscapes to the fleeting moments of wildlife in their habitat.

• Portraits: I love capturing the essence of a person's personality in a single frame. It's a collaborative process that's all about connection, light, and revealing the story behind the eyes.

• Automotive: The blend of design, engineering, and art in automobiles is fascinating. I enjoy capturing the sleek lines, powerful stances, and intricate details that make each car a unique piece of machinery.

My Portfolio

I've curated some of my favorite work on my photography website. It's a collection of moments and subjects that have inspired me, and I'm excited to share it with you. You can also follow my journey on Instagram @roshanpraveenshetty.

This passion project is more than just a hobby; it's an integral part of who I am. It teaches me to look at the world with a different perspective, paying close attention to light, composition, and detail—skills that, surprisingly, find their way back into my work as a developer.
