I don't shoot mannequins, I shoot hoomans. Browse through my recent portrait and fashion work across Mumbai—no plastic skin, just real moods and cinematic light.

This shot captures the quiet, intimate moments I love to create. Using natural light from a window, the focus is on the mood and the story in the reflection, creating a modern and personal take on saree photography.

I love using the dynamic energy of Mumbai as a backdrop. This cinematic reel shows how we can tell a story through movement, light, and location, turning a simple walk through the city into a fashion editorial.

For me, a powerful portrait is about capturing an authentic emotion. This shot from a men's portfolio session at the beach uses the natural environment and soft light to create a raw, editorial image that feels both strong and vulnerable.

Many photographers avoid shooting at night, but I embrace the challenge. This clip shows my process of using off-camera flash to create dramatic, well-lit portraits against the Mumbai skyline after dark, proving that any time can be the right time for a great shot.

Light is a tool for sculpting. Here, I used a single, hard light source to create this high-contrast silhouette. This black and white portrait is all about mood, shape, and the drama created by deep shadows.

A great portrait is an honest one. This close-up from a beach session focuses on a genuine expression, with the wind and natural light adding to the moment. My editing process ensures skin looks like real skin, not plastic.

Chasing the golden hour light is always worth it. This outdoor fashion shot uses the warm, soft light of the late afternoon to create a beautiful, flattering glow and rich colors, all done in-camera with minimal adjustments.

I believe in keeping it real, especially with editing. This video gives you a direct look at my philosophy, showing a before and after of how I use Photoshop to enhance a photo's natural beauty without resorting to the over-edited, "plastic skin" look.

About Featured

When you book a session, we aren't just clicking poses. We pick a location—a quiet corner in Colaba or the shore at Versova—and we find a story. I guide you on expression and movement, using either soft natural light or a sharp flash setup to match your specific vibe. My goal is to capture images that feel like film stills, not rigid catalog shots.
