Facing struggles since childhood, Anil worked in many fields. Finally he became a Photographer and achieved a good position with thirty long years of Photography experience.

Anil Daya is a Photographer. He runs his studio under the name ‘Siddha Photo Arts’ in Udaipur. He’s been into this field since 1980.

Anil is a resident of Udaipur. He completed all his education from Udaipur itself.

Expressing sorrow about his childhood, Anil says that he had a troubled childhood. He lost his father at a very young age due to which his mother raised him alone. He says that instead of playing around, he had to fulfill household responsibilities in his childhood.

Anil considers Amitabh Bachchan as his Role Model as he treats everyone with great respect and compassion, no matter how big or ordinary a person is. Anil admires him for his punctuality trait too.

Talking about his struggles, Anil says he started his journey by setting up a tea stall on the street. As he progressed in life, he tried his hands at several other small businesses. Soon, seeing a random photographer, he got inspired and decided to get into the field of Photography. After learning Photography for six years, he took a loan under the ‘Prime Minister Unemployment Scheme’ and started his own Photography Studio as, ‘Siddha Photo Arts.’ On a personal front, he lost five of his close family members, including his mother in the last five years, which has been the worst phase of his life.

Anil says that the Covid pandemic was full of sorrow for him because he lost many of his near and dear ones to that deadly disease. From the business point of view too, he suffered a huge loss as businesses were closed for a long time and his Studio was his only earning source.

Expressing disappointment towards technological development, Anil says that because of growing technology and friendly multimedia phones, the photography industry has suffered a major setback.

To aspiring Photographers, Anil advises them to advance their skills and get used to new technologies entering the market. He suggests you should upgrade your tools, keep yourself updated and one step ahead of what is coming next. Then choose your branch and ace it.

Anil is fond of reading books and cooking in his spare time.
