We want to treat the models in Manipur as a family.

“Aspiring models came for audition to our Academy and I use to do the profile shots and give them advices. Like the ramp models are different from print models. Candidates of lesser heights are given tips like they can work for ads and other billboard models when ad agencies hire models for their brand highlight. I felt giving wrong promises was not good and I told them directly as I have been in the industry for the last ten years. We guide them to their suitably, they started realise their own. Height is very much in modelling looks is different,” he continued.
About fashion photography
Design and fashion starts from olden times. Normal candid photo should be very expressive. Impressing the viewer in fashion photography is very important. Focusing on looks, attitude and garment highlight is a much while taking a click. If there is no combination then the photo is not value. Fashion and photography is very closely related. It is different from other photography. Expression and garment looks touch is a perfect shot and we should wait and click for an exclusive look.
Skill wise we need lots of concentration as the moment has to be captured in fraction of seconds. We should click for good exposure and within the social outlook and not to tarnish the image of a model while in the profession.
