About Me:
Born in a small city of Northern India, Kurukshetra, Poras Chaudhary is a freelance photojournalist and a documentary photographer. Ever since he was a child, Poras has been intrigued by the visually striking moments, may they be special for their color, composition or just the moment's rarity in time. His passion for photography began in 2005 when he started looking for a good camera and came across the work of Magnum photographers. Poras is a completely self-taught photographer. He is best known for his color work and unique compositions.
Having started photography in mid-2005, He won a number of Internationally recognized awards including -
1. Winner of The Digital Camera Magazine's "Photographer of the Year" award in 2006.
2. Merit award winner in National Geographic Traveler's "World in Focus" photo contest, 2008.
3. Runner Up in "Epson Color Imaging Contest", 2008.
4. "International Photography Awards" Nomination in 2009.
5. Winner of Homeland category in "Travel Photographer of the Year", 2009.
Although until now he primarily shot while traveling, recently he has started working on a number of personal projects.
He is someone who strives for excellence in whatever he does, which reflects in his photography.

"I've known Kaipu for a while on Flickr and I have to say that I rarely came across a work of such high quality standard...
His work speak the language from the heart, his portrait transmit an incredibly deep emotion, his photostream is an explosion of colours, his subjects are a great source of inspiration and finally his person, Kaipu...well what to say...kind, humble, cute, honest...It's always a pleasure to go through his page and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do..."30th October, 2008

"Well ..what do you know! It is so difficult to leave out his images without making a comment. Been following his works over the last year or so..The macros were amazingly sharp and had near perfect timing. Then I guess he attained "moksha"..came with a whole lot of awards too :) And as a result he has upgraded his equipment. There has been no looking back since!
I have seen similar images from others but he leaves his signature on each and post of his.
Congratulations, your works have been truly inspiring and its indeed a joy to see you grow in leaps and bounds! :)"23rd May, 2007
