Behind the Scenes & Photography Tutorials
Ever wonder how that cinematic shot actually comes to life? I pull back the curtain on my process—from rugged setups in Spiti to color grading in my studio.
Here's a look at the setup and the final shot for a dynamic water-crossing scene in Tibet. I used my Sony ZV-E1 for the main shot and an Insta360 X4 to capture my process, showing the lengths I go to for that perfect action moment.
Was it worth the risk? This video shows the daring setup of me shooting from a moving car to get a powerful shot of a biker in Tibet. It gives a glimpse into the adventurous nature of my automotive photoshoots.
In this tutorial, I share three quick tips for leveling up your videos, shot on the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 at a Delhi Metro station. I explain the benefits of high frame rates, high resolution, and flat color profiles for aspiring videographers.
This video breaks down a cinematic portrait shoot at Isa Khan's tomb. It shows my interaction with the model and the camera angles I use, revealing the final, beautiful shot. It’s a mini-masterclass in creating evocative visuals.

About this collection
I don't just capture the final frame; I document the madness behind it. When I am on a shoot—whether it's a bike crossing a river in Tibet or a portrait at Humayun’s Tomb—I am usually running a secondary camera like an Insta360 X4. It helps you see the angle, the risk, and the setup, not just the polished result. If you are a creator, this is where you can see exactly how I get those wide, cinematic perspectives without needing a massive production crew.
My Creative Process
For me, the camera is a tool for connection. I never just place a product or a person in a frame and call it a day. I try to bring out the story—what makes something real, what actually connects with people. Aur kuch cheezein kismat banakar hi aati hain (And some things just arrive as destiny).
Tutorials & Technical Breakdown
I believe in sharing the craft. My tutorials are designed to be practical, not theoretical. Whether we are in the Delhi Metro, a cafe, or high up in the Himalayas, I break down:
- Cinematic Techniques: How I use 4K 120FPS to get that moody, slow-motion aesthetic.
- Color Grading: I pull back the curtain on my workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro, showing how I transform flat S-Log3 footage into a warm, glowing masterpiece.
- Gear Hacks: You will see how I mount gear like the Insta360 GO3 on Royal Enfield bikes or use simple foreground elements (like bushes) to add depth to a landscape shot.
Why Behind-the-Scenes Matters
I share this content because I want my clients to see the effort that goes into a shot. When you see me risking my camera from a moving car or hiking into a remote location in Spiti, you understand why my process delivers high-energy, soulful visuals. It is not just about the final Reel; it is about the story of how we made it.
If you are looking to learn, pick up a custom LUT, or see if my style fits your brand, let’s talk. I am always chasing the next story.
