Embedded Eyes is my initiative to take photojournalism beyond major news events, and into the last mile - to document the lives of common people. I like the idea of applying photography & Visual Story-telling to people's daily lives by documenting various life moments for them. Wedding photography is the classic case of applying documentary photography to people's life moments. Besides wedding photography, I also take up portrait photography assignments.
