About Beyond Mumbai
I don't just shoot postcards when I travel. Whether it is the steam rising off a morning chai in Old Delhi or the fog rolling through Matheran, I wait for that one second where a place feels alive. It is about finding that rhythm, even when the geography is new to me.
My lens follows the same philosophy whether I am in my home city or wandering further afield. I look for the pulse, the chaos, and the quiet beauty in places I visit. Capturing the Wari Yatra, the narrow lanes of Delhi, or the misty trails of Matheran, I seek the same raw, unposed honesty I chase in Mumbai.
People often ask if I only shoot in my city. My answer is simple: if a place has a story, I can shoot it. I adapt to the environment. I do not come with a heavy lighting setup that dictates how a place should look. I come with my camera, ready to blend in and document the flow of daily life.
If you have a location in mind that you want captured with a cinematic, narrative-driven eye, let's talk. I am open to travel projects where the location is as much a character in the story as you are.
