Hear a piece of information, three days later you’ll only remember 10% of it. If you look at a picture, it stays with you.

I only photograph what I love and curious about. As a street photographer, I photograph people, environment and scenes which touch my soul.

Serendipity is simply unsheltered intention, sometimes we stumble upon an inconvenient truth and the universe looks suspicious as if it’s a fix. Serendipitous photos to me, sometimes poetic and at times mythical. It consists of various factors such as proximity, similarity, intuition, direction, and closure.

I always ask myself “Why do I want to make this picture?". It's important to ask "WHY” rather than "HOW".

“Why” is the reason behind why I started photography as it is all about reflecting and expressing myself to discover who I am. I try to be intuitive, make photographs which are spontaneous, transitory and instinctual. Sometimes you make photograph in a fraction of a second. Sometimes you blink and you miss it. This is what I tried to emulate in my book, SERENDIPITY.

Born in New Delhi, Vineet graduated with a first class degree in fine arts from the prestigious College of Arts. A self-taught photographer who started shooting wild life for two years before finding passion in street photography, Vineet finds photographing in the street a journey he learns about life in general; about human elements and the environment; about making ordinary moments look extraordinary ….. all these were presented through his lens, in a genuine and honest manner.
