A collection of my favourite frames, ranging from the chaotic charm of Mumbai locals to the quiet, rustic alleys of Delhi.

This is what I mean by urban storytelling. We use the city's iconic architecture, like Mumbai's CSMT, as more than just a background. It becomes part of the narrative, blending fashion with the soul of the street.

A beach shoot doesn't have to be just sand and water. I love finding these industrial elements, like this old rusted pier, to create a strong contrast and a more editorial, high-fashion feel against the soft beach backdrop.

Night shoots are a different vibe altogether. Using a flash, I can sculpt the light to create these dramatic, high-contrast black and white portraits that have a classic, cinematic quality. It's all about playing with shadows.

For me, this is the real Mumbai. Capturing a quiet, candid moment amidst the constant motion of a local train is what my photography is all about. It’s about finding stillness in the chaos.

This was shot at the iconic Dhobi Ghat. The goal was to create a powerful portrait that feels authentic to the location, using the textures and colors of the background to frame the subject's expression.

Here’s a little peek at what goes on behind the scenes. A beach shoot involves working with the elements, like the wind and waves, to get that perfect, naturally flowing shot.

My work isn't limited to Mumbai. Here in the narrow alleys of Delhi, we found this amazing contrast of a vibrant yellow saree against the old, textured walls and a rustic bicycle, telling a unique city story.

I also work with male models to build their portfolios. This shoot had a rugged, industrial theme, using a gritty location to complement the leather jacket and create a strong, masculine portrait.

About Featured

People often ask why I stick to natural light for these sessions. It isn't just about the glow; it is about the city's real mood. Whether it is the golden hour hitting the CSMT architecture or the harsh shadows in a gritty industrial lane, I prefer working with what is there. It makes your photos feel like a story, not just a posed shoot.
