Mti News, Editor in Chief Mr. Riyaz Ahmed got the opportunity to interview Mr. Sunil Sharma according to him ” LIFE IS ALL ABOUT STRUGGLE, BUT STRUGGLE IS A KEY OF SUCCESS “.
Mr.Sunil Sharma Said to me, Photography is an art of Observation. It’s about finding something interesting in common places. I have found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. It is rightly said that ” QUALITY IS NOT AN ACCIDENT, IT IS A RESULT OF THE RIGHT EFFORTS”
Mr. Sharma started photography as a hobby and he didn’t expect it to turn into a profession. his interest in photography was ignited when he was very young, in those days he used to watch a TV serial ‘Karamchand’ and while watching it he was able to observe and enjoy the way the cameraman used to shoot the various scenes from different angles of the serial the way he shot was so unique then a film called Jalwa starring Naseeruddin Shah and this film was shot with the same camera team, co-incidentally cameraman name was also Sunil Sharma which connected him and inspired more interest in photography.
Mr. Sharma’s elder brother noticed his passion and gifted him a Russian-made Zenith camera, He was overjoyed and took a lot of photos and realized that he can do much better for which he needed proper training. His luck took him to Madras (Chennai) Rajkamal Studios where he took training for a year and then came back to Bombay (Mumbai) and his journey started he became a member of CINE STILL TV & MOTION PHOTOGRAPHERS ASSOCIATION.
He got his first opportunity to work for a serial called ” Mr. Dhansukh” Renowned Actor Kader khan was the main lead and then his journey in the film industry started. Mr. Sharma’s friend (MANU) who is the nephew of superstar Govinda introduced him to him as a photographer, Mr.Sharma learned a lot and his talent was recognized by many directors and at just the age of 25 years, he became a part of the film industry as a Still Photographer. Mr. Sharma said that ” working with superstars was Dream come true. Govindaji is technically very strong and always guided me.”
Mr. Sunil Sharma had started his professional journey with a lot of confidence though he was only SSC passed and diploma holder in Audio Video and lots of determination and hard work He turned his hobby into a profession and doing a remarkable job with his team for the last 25 years of his life by capturing many Films, Serials, Events, and Weddings, etc.
Mr.Sunil Sharma further added that he got a wonderful opportunity to work for Mrs. SmitaThackeray’s ” Rahul productions” for 10 years who makes Marathi serials. From Still photographer to Designer to Second unit Cameraman the journey continued.Many big productions worked with but the only challenge he faced in the film industry is not getting paid properly on time by some production houses, so to manage his finance, he took up additional assignments so he started covering many wedding events, small to High-Profile weddings,
Mr. Sharma is a great cricket lover and again his passion for sports turned into a profession he is keen to know how cricket live telecast is done so he used to watch especially the matches of Australian team camera angles which are very unique according to him so he started learning that and now
Mr.Sunil Sharma and his team are very famous for covering live cricket matches and other sports tournaments with graphics and live scores, similar to the international standard of live coverage.

Became a member of the Mumbai photographers Association way back in 2003 and since then in 2012.
Then he became a committee member, he has always worked for the betterment of his fellow photographers.
Three years he severed as Hon. Treasurer and immediately was selected as a Hon. President in 2017
Since then He has identified the areas where he needed to work on like getting them pension schemes, Life insurance, Mediclaim, and insurance for cameras. training sessions, and special events for the photographers and their families.
The Photographer fraternity is fragmented and disorganized and they compete with each other being disunited they are vulnerable and face the issues like some clients fighting with them for any reason, the digital data on the memory card getting corrupt sometimes, not being provided food and conveyance by some clients, etc. so he says we are trying to unit all photographers with contract forms for clients, standard rate cards and a lot more.
Basically, the photographers have to value themselves and consider themselves as artists and deserve respect and dignity. He says we at MPA (Mumbai Photographer’s Association) are trying to educate our life member photographers on soft skills and well to deal with clients.
