Meet Nimal Perera

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nimal Perera and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nimal, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I am a lifelong admirer of photography. I was born in Sri Lanka and graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering there. I was fascinated about photography since I was about 13 year old when one of my teachers let me borrow a film camera. I even set up a small darkroom in my house to develop and print images I took. I held onto that passion throughout my carrier as a manufacturing engineer and an executive running manufacturing operations for a lighting company in Canada and in USA.As soon as I had the opportunity to be able to retire, after a 37 year service in the industry, I followed a 2 year photography education program to be able to learn new developments and launched my one-man photography business, in 2016. That helped me fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a Professional Photographer. I’m on Instagram under @nimagesphoto.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As a photographer I love to photograph People. I am excited about preserving timeless memories whether its in a wedding or family photography session.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If he/she was from out of the area I would take them to main tourist attractions and have them taste authentic food of the mexican heritage found in our area.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am grateful to my wife of 49 years for supporting me during the family raising years and be a strong supporter of my passion for photography.
