Gone are the days when women were supposed to stay within the four walls of their house and look after the kids. They were hardly given any importance as people thought women can't step out and work as professionals. But now the time has changed and so do the women. They are excelling in whatever they are doing. Similar is the story of Monisha Ajgaonkar of The Photo Diary.

Recently, Monisha Ajgaonkar was presented two prestigious awards - India's Most Prominent Women Empowerment Awards at Delhi by Geeta Phogat and Sudha Chandran, and IFA THAILAND 2019 (International Fame Awards) for Best Candid Photographer in Mumbai by Kangana Ranaut, which was held in Thailand.

She was 20 years old when she decided to pursue her passion to become a full-fledged photographer.

BLOSSOM Shoot is very closed to me. "Since it’s The Pride International Month and transgenders are being mistreated worldwide, I wanted to raise a voice for them and show support. I want them to know that we are there for them and they can be whatever they like, regardless of what society wants. With this photo series, I want to portray that people can be themselves and be comfortable in their own skin. Just be the queen you are."
