Hello, I'm Joseph Cascarino, an entrepreneur with a deep passion for photography. My journey behind the lens began at the age of 11 when I discovered my love for capturing moments. I started with wildlife photography, often venturing into nearby woods to satisfy my curiosity and hone my skills. As my interest grew, I transitioned into travel photography, driven by a desire to explore new cultures and landscapes.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic halted my travels, leading me to discover the rich and authentic culture of our country. I found myself drawn to our royal folklore which became my new subjects of focus. It is a great honor to have been awarded the WOW TAMIL NADU Creative Eye Award 2023, a recognition that inspires me to continue capturing the essence of our rich cultural heritage. I am also proud to be the winner of the AICCI Photography Awards, a recognition that further motivates me to explore the world through photography.
My project with the Department of Folklore & Culture Studies, School of Performing Arts, Madurai Kamaraj University, has also enriched my understanding of cultural heritage and storytelling, influencing my approach to photography. I am thrilled to share my photographic journey with you, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of our heritage through my lens.
Thank you!
