Documentary Photography & Cinematic Travel Films
I don't just click pictures; I chase the soul of India. From quiet morning prayers in Varanasi to the raw energy of festivals, these are the stories I've gathered on my quest.

About Featured
When I shoot, I believe in getting paas jaake (closer). Whether it is a bustling festival or a quiet mountain monastery, I use compact cinema-grade cameras to stay non-intrusive and capture raw, authentic moments without staging them. My goal is not just to frame a shot, but to catch the heartbeat of the moment.
My work is defined by the belief that life happens in the detours. Whether you are looking for documentary photography, a cinematic travel film, or aerial drone storytelling, my approach remains the same: I document reality as it unfolds.
The Documentary Approach
I don't work with staged setups. I specialize in candid street photography, environmental portraits, and lifestyle storytelling. By using high-end compact gear, I can blend into the background, allowing people to be themselves. This is how I capture the real emotions, the dust, the light, and the chaos that make a place what it is.
Hybrid Storytelling
I combine ground-level documentary shooting with aerial cinematography. If you are looking for visuals that show both the scale of a location and the intimacy of a human moment, my drone and ground packages are built for this. I handle the entire process—from the initial storyboard to color grading your footage to match the vibe of your project, whether it is for social media reels or long-form documentation.
Travel & Logistics
I am based in Delhi but travel across India for assignments. I have worked in the mountains of Ladakh, the ghats of Varanasi, and the deserts of Rajasthan. If your project is outside the NCR region, I am happy to travel. Just keep in mind that travel, accommodation, and food expenses are borne by the client, and we can discuss the best way to handle this during our initial chat.
Moksh
I am Moksh. My camera and drone are my tools to document the stories I find across India. I do not stage anything; I just wait for the right moment to show you the beauty in the chaos.
