Kiran Urs, after completing his B.E in Automobiles, took up a job in a car showroom at his hometown, Mysuru. However, he could not continue there for more than a month. “I picked up my camera and decided to make my hobby a profession to earn,” Mr. Urs told The Hindu on Saturday.

He was here as the first three-day exhibition of his photographs had been organised by the Maland Eco Club of Malnad Engineering College (MCE), where he did his B.E. “This is my college. It had given me opportunities to exhibit my talent even when I was a student here. I am happy that the maiden exhibition of my photographs is being held here,” he said.

Mr. Urs completed B.E. in 2013. He was attracted to camera at a very young age and put his talent to test with his father’s camera In the first exhibition, he has displayed 92 works, many of which were already sold.
