Kulasai Dasara: The Fire & The Faith

This collection is a deep dive into the Kulasai Dasara festival in Tamil Nadu, a vibrant and intense celebration of devotion. I focus on capturing the raw energy of the fire rituals and the dramatic transformations of devotees who embody various deities.

Devotion & Rituals

This gallery showcases the diverse tapestry of faith across India, from the quiet prayers at dawn to the joyful chaos of festivals. I document these moments as they happen, using natural light to capture the genuine emotion and spiritual energy of Chhath Puja, Holi, Eid, and other sacred events.

The Human Condition: Life & Labor

This series is a photo essay on the world of manual labor, focusing on the grit and humanity of workers at brick kilns in Bihar. Through both color and black and white images, I aim to document the challenging environment, the physical nature of the work, and the enduring spirit of the people.

Atmospheric India: Moods & Moments

This collection explores the quieter, more contemplative side of India, where the environment itself tells a story. I use fog, mist, silhouettes, and reflections to create moody and evocative scenes, capturing moments of peace, solitude, and the beauty of the everyday landscape.

Portraits of India: Faces & Friendships

For me, photography is about collecting stories, and every face tells one. This cluster brings together a variety of portraits, from candid moments of childhood friendship to intense, direct gazes that connect with the viewer, all captured in their natural environment without any staging.
