Featured Photography and Cinematic Stories
A glimpse into my favorite stories captured through the lens—from quiet family milestones to the vibrancy of traditional celebrations.
I believe in capturing the magic in everyday moments. For this mother and child portrait, we created a divine Krishna-themed setup in my studio, turning a simple photoshoot into a cherished memory filled with love and innocence.
A love story 25 years in the making. We created this cinematic anniversary film at the beautiful Saltt Resort in Karjat, focusing on the quiet, soulful moments that define a lifetime of togetherness.
The vibrant energy of Makar Sankranti is infectious. I love capturing the laughter and camaraderie as friends celebrate together, dressed in stunning traditional Nauvari sarees. These are the moments that truly define our festivals.
Sometimes the best portraits are the unposed ones. This candid shot from a family session in my studio captures the pure joy and affection between parents and their child, a perfect memory of their bond.
A house becomes a home with love, dreams, and blessings. I was honored to document this family's Gruhapravesh ceremony, capturing the sacred rituals like Vastu Puja and the joy of starting a new chapter.
The journey to motherhood is beautiful and unique. This maternity session compilation shows the different ways we can tell your story, from intimate couple portraits to celebrating with your older child, all within the comfort of my studio.
A first birthday is a huge milestone worth celebrating in style. We captured all the fun of baby Ivaan's birthday bash, from the family pool party at Jashan Farm to the quiet, tender moments between parents and child.
About this collection
When I shoot, I look for the unposed moments—like the way a father holds his daughter or the quiet ritual of a Grahapravesh. Whether we are in my Kamothe studio for a themed baby session or on location at places like Saltt Resort in Karjat, my focus is on keeping the environment relaxed so the real emotions come through. This collection brings together the diverse range of work I do, from newborn portraits to anniversary films.
My approach to photography is simple: I capture the feeling of the day, not just the visual documentation. I believe that professional photography should be accessible and authentic to who you are.
Why I Focus on Storytelling
Photography is more than technical settings. Whether I am shooting a Vitthal-themed maternity session in my Navi Mumbai studio or documenting a multi-day wedding, I am looking for the 'sat janma' promise or the laughter between family members.
My Core Focus Areas
- Candid Family Sessions: I move away from stiff poses. My studio shoots, especially for babies and toddlers, allow for play, nap breaks, and genuine interaction. This results in portraits that feel like a snapshot of your life, not a staged production.
- Traditional Ceremonies: Understanding the significance of rituals like Vastu Puja or a Gruhapravesh is vital. I bring specialized equipment, including wide-angle lenses for tighter home spaces, to ensure every tradition is respected and preserved.
- Cinematic Highlights: Beyond still images, I use gimbal-stabilized cinematography to edit highlight reels that tell your story. I aim to create films that bring back the energy of the event every time you watch them.
Working Together
I operate out of my studio in Kamothe, but I frequently travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area, Pune, and beyond for destination shoots. My team and I focus on delivering high-resolution, color-corrected images and cinematic edits that reflect your personal vibe. If you are looking for someone to capture your next milestone, I would love to hear your story and see how we can bring it to life.
