She's more often seen with her camera than without it...making and creating pretty and powerful pictures.... Photographer, Anushka Nadia Menon, recently received an Award for Excellence at the 'Nokia Eye on Fashion Contest 2006' for Best Photographer in Professional Category.

The independent photographer based in New Delhi, India, graduated from The International College of Professional Photography, Melbourne, in collaboration with the Pearl Academy of Fashion, New Delhi. Globetrotting is second nature to the girl who spent her early years in The Sultanate of Oman, where she completed high school.

Now, back in India, doing what she loves most, Anushka - a very people's person who also specialises in corporate and industrial photography - is kept busy with projects, at home and abroad. Shooting royalty, high achievers, her portfolio also includes work done for international and Indian clients. Proving that she is "more mature and wiser beyond her years," her recent award reinforces her talent in her chosen field. Feast your eyes on her camera wizardry in our feature on Indian royalty in this issue.
