Photos by Parth

My name is Parth and I am the founder of Photos by Parth. I don't have the usual background that many professional photographers do because photography was never my first love. I never fully got into photography until I moved to the city of Chicago for college. While living in Chicago I gradually fell in love with the city and decided that I wanted to capture my time there. Shortly after, I decided to buy my first camera and started roaming the streets of Chicago capturing everything in sight. As the years went by my interest in travel and landscape photography became my identity as a photographer, and that's when my journey began. My passion for photography merged with my love for travel this past summer when I explored the streets of Paris, looked over the cliffs of Cinque Terre, and walked the beaches of Barcelona. Exploring Europe this past summer was more than a graduation trip...it was a realization that this is something I want to do for the rest of my life. Now I'm off in the constant pursuit of a new country to explore with a camera to capture it. Photos by Parth is a way for me to showcase my passion for photography and my obsession for travel to the rest of the world.
