I am Ashish Jain, currently graduate student at Department of Civil engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA. I am originally from Jodhpur, India. Being a frequent traveller & enthusiast, I visited lot more places around globe but still got a little chance to explore heaven of my own country. Though there is no connection with civil engineering to Photography. I am a published photographer and My work in portrait and nature photography have been recognized by Chicago Art Museum, USA.

For the past seven years, experiencing nature and photographing her beauty has been my form of relaxation and spiritual fulfillment. I am largely self taught in the photographic arts. My belief is that art is in every one, the only thing we need to explore it.

I can’t think of a single photographic journey in which I haven’t learned some further nuance of the light and how it interacts with the world around me.--Ashish Jain

Iʼd rather be broke down and lost in the wilds of Big Bend, any day, than wake up some morning in a penthouse suite high above the megalomania of Dallas or Houston.

Big Bend

We wake at dawn to discover the desert hills shrouded in rolling clouds of vapor, seeming remote and mystical as the Mountains of the Moon. A rare and lovely sight and we are sorry to leave. We console ourselves, as we always do, with the thought that weʼll be back, someday soon.

-Edward Abbey, “Big Bend”

Walking through the The gypsum dunes is an unforgettable experience; often there are no other footprints ahead, just wind-created ripples and occasional lizard tracks. -Ashish Jain
