Teaching and Presenting to a global audience
Sanjay has been invited to teach and present globally – he loves to teach and inspire that ‘Eureka’ moment with people whether it’s at one of his own workshops, one-on-one training, or at the various seminars and conventions that he is invited to speak globally. He was invited to speak for Canon CEE in Bucharest, Romania for 500 photographers which was also on National TV and Radio. He has been presenting for Canon since he became Ambassador in 2018.
Sanjay has also been as well as numerous other publications to share inspiration, technical expertise, and his extensive experience.

He feels a duty to help protect, shape and guide the future of our industry across all age groups. This passion to guide and serve has been exhibited at his many seminars for Canon for example since 2017, and more recently with the Canon Young Peoples Programme (YPP) which has led him to initiate conversations with the Change Foundation to explore ways to reach young people all over the country to affect positive change.

Sanjay actively also represented the British Wedding and Events Industry with his participation in the UK Government Taskforce for Weddings during the 2020 & 2021 lockdowns in two of the 8 Working Groups to gain government support in the wake of the Global Pandemic following a year of industry wide neglect.
Formative Years
Sanjay’s love of photography started at school with his father’s Canon AE-1 35mm film SLR camera and grew up within a culture of photography while his dad worked at the local Kodak factory for 35 years (where Sanjay also worked as a student actually manufacturing 35mm film).

A combination of this constant photo-centric environment and his own creative curiosity meant that he is self-taught and began developing his own style and approach from a young age. 
He studied Architecture at the University of Bath in England all the while combining his love of photography with his architectural presentation techniques. Having qualified as an Architect, Sanjay believes strongly that there are many parallels between his Photography his Architectural training – for example: Light, composition, conceptualisation, space, aesthetics, surface, texture creativity are all common elements to both.
