Shutter-Active Traveler Agastya Kuila

An amateur's journal of travel and photography.

Good photography is no more just for the pros. Social media and mobile phone cameras as personal accessories have changed it all. Taking pictures on the phone and posting them on social media is common practice. That India is christened the "selfie capital of the world" is proof of the ease of taking pictures and the obsession to share. Curiously, few know the basics of taking a good photograph.

This travelogue is my journey across the world, indulging my passion for photography while constantly looking to improve the quality of the visuals I click irrespective of the camera device. This book covers my travels across diverse country scapes, beaches, cities and jungles. I hope you enjoy this journey.

An important facet of this travelogue is my impression from each experience that instilled in me respect for every individual, irrespective of race, color, creed, gender, physical features or ability and the increasing belief in the need for the principles of Grade Humanity to make the world more accepting of all.

All sale proceeds from this book will go to Jamghat, an organization that fosters the values of Grade Humanity while rehabilitating street children across New Delhi. I was fortunate to work two summers at Jamghat and continue to be inspired every day by the tireless work and scale of impact of this team.
