At the workplace of photo.circle on October 20, Bartholomew was working with photos for a slide appear for the celebration. He has been working in the field of photography for a long time and his appreciation for photography started when he was just seven years of age. His folks — Richard Bartholomew, workmanship faultfinder/author/picture taker/painter and Rati Bartholomew, theater dissident/instructor/performer/essayist/chief — affected him towards photography.

He started his adventure as picture taker by clicking his mom's photo, characters of her play, structures, anything while in Delhi. At that point he went to Bombay (Mumbai) and filled in as a still picture taker for Indian and universal motion pictures, did corporate photography and worked for ads. "Photography is my life and the main thing or specialty I know," he said.

For around five years he wore diverse caps yet his point was to be a photojournalist. "My desire was to go into photojournalism and worldwide media. Subsequent to filling in as a still picture taker for Gandhi by Richard Attenborough I traveled to another country looking for a photograph organization to work with. I acted as India staff for Gamma Liaison, French American photograph office for a long time. Through the office, my works have been distributed globally."

He even quit secondary school to seek after photography at 15 years old and started photography as an expert at 17 years. "School was exhausting, instructors were exhausting and I didn't feel the requirement for scholarly training and degree. I never finished my secondary school. Be that as it may, being in the group of craftsmen and savvy people, I have acquired socially, socially and mentally from my folks. Due to the extravagance that existed in my family, I could give a miss to my tutoring. Also, training ought to be there to make the understudy a fulfilled innovative individual, yet it dislike that with our instruction framework where instruction has turned into a business. That is the reason individuals go to Oxford or Harvard that is revered as the sanctuary of training. I was fortunate and blessed to have such a family, to the point that helped me be my identity today."

At 20 years old in 1975, he won his initially grant for his photograph arrangement of morphine addicts by World Press Photo. As indicated by him, the honors he got from the get-go in his vocation were the attestation that he was doing admirably and was useful to strengthen his musings about photography. "I expected to demonstrate to myself and my family that without formal instruction and being into photography I can make something out of my life. Getting honors can make you feel like a hotshot or whatever. In any case, geniuses likewise have

to eat and work. You may be a whiz on the off chance that you keep on being helpful or beneficial, else you turn into a no star. Indeed, even in music or motion pictures, it is the same. They need to keep on performing."

In his 20 years as a photojournalist he caught numerous recorded developments in India alongside the South Asian locale. "Since 1983, I secured political occasions, cataclysmic events and artificial catastrophes. There was the Punjab development of Khalistan, they needed flexibility from India, Bhopal Gas Tragedy, the violent winds in Bangladesh, the political profession to the burial service of Indira Gandhi, ascent of Rajiv Gandhi in Indian legislative issues and some more."

Photojournalism is created with many difficulties and one ought to be rationally, candidly and physically arranged and be sufficiently solid to proceed to work and "solid does not mean you ought to resemble a pehelman (muscle head). It implies you require stamina. At work, in some cases you get stranded in a place, you don't get water, next to no sustenance, troublesome circumstances in misfortunes like twisters, shot shooting and stone tossing in mobs et cetera. So having stamina implies adapting to every one of these issues and as yet proceeding with your work."

Capturing my family, companions, urban communities I lived in and the day by day life is considerably more intriguing and essential as I think back now than my photojournalism years. Since they have enduring quality uncovering the way of life and time which a great many people did not know existed in India. There are prevalent ideas about our nation, for example, India is a nation of snake charmers, Maharajas, and so on that exclusive give you a specific perspective of a country. For me when I photo individuals around me, their hairdos, garments they wore and what they did, discusses a time of life that are not fantasies made by westerners but rather genuine and fascinating."

So what makes a decent photo? "There must be an idea, a believing, an inclination, style and development — photo is a blend of every one of these things. To be an incredible picture taker, one needs a comprehension of life, that is the thing that when the eyes develop as you live. You need to have some involvement of life, which implies you need to have disappointment, you must be harmed, you should know torment and what enduring is, to be submitted and proceed even in terrible time of life. Individuals need to comprehend the style of present day craftsmanship to films. Essentially you need to have a past filled with a significant number of visual mediums and even writing, to music as everything is associated, to be a finished imaginative individual whether a picture taker, craftsman or essayist. You require everything."

For him, life is the thing that passing is not: "From the time you are destined to when you are not around is to have the capacity to lead it in the most satisfying way by adding to workmanship and art of what I hone."

Bartholomew could have picked other imaginative wander however he picked photography and he stated, "On the grounds that it is the most conservative and financial medium that should be possible all alone. That is one reason I went to take a shot at movies yet I truly couldn't care less as there are excessively numerous individuals to make a yield. In photography, you can be your own particular maker, chief, picture taker and you are generally quite recently taking a shot at your own."

He led a workshop on 'The Past is The Present' from October 14-18 and a slideshow curated by him is occurring on October 24 at Pimbahal as a feature of the Photo Kathmandu. About the celebration he communicated, "I have been to numerous photograph celebrations around the globe and I am discovering Photo Kathmandu intriguing, trial and a vital social occasion for Nepal.
