Mumbai is home, but my camera’s always chasing a mood—sometimes it’s chai and kanda bhaji on a rainy day, sometimes it’s cocktails by the Goan sea. Food isn’t just about the plate for me, it’s the whole vibe. I get lost in the tiny details, styling and lighting till the frame feels like a story you want to jump into. Every shoot, I’m looking for that feeling. Art in appetite, always. ### My work - **Food & Product Photography**: I shoot food for restaurants, home chefs, and brands. Styled and lit for the vibe you want. - **Mood-Focused Shoots**: Whether it’s cozy chai photography or a beach cocktail shoot, I set up the mood, not just the shot. - **Festive & Cultural Styling**: Love shooting festive mithai styling and hampers for Diwali, Rakhi, and other Indian celebrations. - **Sweet, Savory, Anything**: From drool-worthy desserts to full meals, I make every dish look like a slice of heaven.
