A keen observer since childhood, Mangesh, with an eye for detail captured moments, objects, fashion, interiors, landscapes and people with a creative kaleidoscope in his mind, nudging him to pursue his inherent talent and making him the third generation photographer in his family. His creative streak gave him the impetus to stand behind the camera and make what he saw eternal in his photographs.
Pursuing his passion with enthusiasm, Mangesh joined Late Mr. Jagdish Mali in 1996, sharpening skills under his astute mentor-ship before starting his own studio at Mumbai in 1998. Mangeshโs passion for travel and photography has taken him places, capturing subjects as variegated as food, products, interiors, portfolios, celebrities and campaigns alike. Some of his work include advertisement campaigns for Malaysia Tourism, Toyota, Yardley London, Monte Carlo and Mainland China. Mangesh has had the privilege of capturing masterpieces of many celebrities that include Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra Deol, Sachin Tendulkar, M.S. Dhoni, Amir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Hritik Roshan, John Abraham, Boman Irani, Hema Malini, Kareena Kapoor, Amisha Patel , Anushka Sharma, Rati Agnihotri, Jagjit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, and many more. His works have been showcased in many exhibitions that include Photographers Guild of India in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011; Nine Palette, Group exhibition at Nehru Art Centre and the humbling experience at PGI (Exhibit - A) in 2009 where all his work was sold out even before the exhibition was open! Humble in character, Mangesh is an enthusiastic photographer who has well adapted to the technology that evolved from Manual Dark-Room to the modern day Electronic Dark Room and the medium film format to DNG simply gives a dimension to his skill, expertise, knowledge and credibility. It would only be apt to say - "The Man behind the camera, crafting panache in God's creations"
