How a child views the world is entirely different from how a teenager observes the world. Similarly, the way a teenager looks at things differs from how an adult views them. It is all about perspectives. Every individual develops a unique understanding and view of the world with time. Each person looks at the things that surround them differently, and it is close to impossible for a person to share their perspective with others.

Sometimes, the difference in perspectives leads to arguments that turn into fights and divide the world into different sects. One such example is that of the number 9, where a person at one end perceives the digit as nine while the person who is sitting across, perceives it as 6. Making a person see another individual’s perspective is a challenge, and not everyone possesses that power to make others understand.

Musicians, painters, sculptors, especially photographers, have the power to make people across the globe see the world from their perspectives. It is an ability that brings peace of mind and solace in the lives of people. A person that is excelling in this area is Varender Singh, who is capturing the world with his lens, locking his personal perspectives, and showing it to the world.

A Delhi-Born Punjabi with a Passion for Photography

Some people dream about landing on the perfect job; some wish to start their own businesses.

Varender had always been one of them as he grew up with a passion for capturing the world through his view, and photography was something he absolutely loved.

Varender took an alias, Channi Miglani, to establish a social presence to share his work with the world.

For Channi Miglani, photography is about expressing feelings and not a profession. He does not want to call photography his profession as it devalues his passion. All his portraits are a reflection of his personal life experiences. All the portraits in his portfolio revolve around his inner thoughts, his view of the world, and his understanding of nature, life, and emotions. It takes several hours for him to capture the perfect moment to make his audience understand his perspective of life and this world.

When asked about his love and admiration for photography, he stated, “Photography is just a profession for many, but for me, it is a way of expressing my feelings. I use my experiences and understanding of life to create my portraits. Clicking pictures and then editing them to reflect my inner thoughts about nature, life, an event, or a character is my general objective for my audience.”

In addition to his photography skills, the 48-year-old Channi Miglani possesses expert picture editing skills. These added skills further shape his craft, making the pictures he captures, impactful. He worked on his tech-skills and self-learned one of the world’s most effective and powerful photo editing app, Adobe Photoshop. He further expressed his interest in photo editing, “Through my photos, I depict my favorite characters in such a way that my editing skills stand out. I respect this art and am very fond of photo editing.”

The photos that he posts on his social media are related to the past and present affairs of the world. Like all other photographers across the globe, his work has received a mixed response. On one hand, some people have fallen in deep admiration for this work; while on the other hand, he has been called stupid, insane, bizarre, and crazy. However, he does not let any of these get to his head, and he keeps his focus on his work and ways he can improve it.
