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 didn’t fully get 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 I wanted to capture my time there.

Shortly after, I bought 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 a big part of my identity as a photographer. During the summer of 2017, my passion for photography merged with my love for travel when I explored the streets of Paris, climbed onto the cliffs of Cinque Terre, and walked the beaches of Barcelona. Exploring Europe that summer was more than a trip—it was the realization that this is something I want to do for the rest of my life.

Photos by Parth is my way of showcasing my passion for photography and my love of travel with the rest of the world.
