● Creativity.

● Stamina.

especially an Indian wedding which is like a never-ending occasion and mostly constitutes at least 3 to 4 days.

Hence, it is important to be fit and take necessary breaks in between.
To sum it all up, to be excel in photography “one can acquire only by practice and not by purchase”.

the pictures you have seen,
the books you have read,
the music you have heard,
the people you have loved”.
