Featured Festival Photography and Cinematic Event Films
I chase the Golden Hour Madness and the raw energy of India's traditions. This collection highlights my journey, from cinematic drone shots of Holi to the intimate, sacred silence of the Ganga Aarti.
This is what divine chaos looks like from above. Using my drone, I captured the explosion of colors during the Holi festival in Nandgaon, Mathura. It's not just a festival; it's a vibrant, spiritual experience of togetherness, and this aerial perspective shows the sheer scale and energy of the celebration.
One of the most emotional moments to capture is the Ganpati Visarjan. This shot of a devotee carrying Bappa into the sea for the final goodbye is a powerful symbol of letting go with love, only to welcome him back again next year. It's a moment of pure, unscripted faith.
The Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi, seen from the sky. At night, the ghat transforms into a sea of light and devotion. This drone shot captures the thousands of devotees and boats gathered to witness the ceremony, a truly spiritual spectacle that connects you to something ancient and divine.
The details are where the devotion truly lies. This close-up of a magnificent black Ganpati idol focuses on the expressive eyes and the sacred 'Om' symbol. Capturing these intricate details is how I tell the story of the artistry and faith behind each idol.
This is a cinematic teaser I created for Durga Puja. It’s designed to build anticipation and capture the powerful emotion of Maa Durga's arrival. Through visuals like the Dhunuchi dance and the intense beats of the dhak, I aim to make you feel the energy of the festival before it even begins.
Flying my drone over Rishikesh during the golden hour reveals the city's true magic. This shot shows the Ganga river winding through the valley as the sun sets, painting the sky in incredible colors. It showcases the serene beauty of India's spiritual heartland from a perspective few get to see.
Filming at Manikarnika Ghat in Banaras requires immense respect and sensitivity. This cinematic reel focuses on the eternal flame, a symbol of the cycle of life and death, without being intrusive. My goal is to capture the profound faith of this sacred place, not the personal grief.
About this collection
You might notice a perspective in my work that feels different, and that is because I do not just watch, I participate. If the best angle for your Ganpati Visarjan is knee-deep in the ocean, I am already there. I shoot for the feeling of the moment, prioritizing raw emotion over staged poses, ensuring you get footage that feels alive.
My Cinematic Approach
I blend high-end gear like the Sony ZV-E1 with a narrative, documentary style. My goal is to capture the 'Why' and 'How' of your event, not just the people.
Aerial Storytelling
My DJI Mini 3 Pro allows me to capture scale—like the vastness of a festival crowd or the winding path of the Ganga—that ground-level photography simply misses. I use these aerial shots to add a layer of grandeur to your film.
Natural Light & Process
I focus heavily on natural light. Whether it is the chaotic, colorful lanes of Delhi or the spiritual peaks of Spiti, my editing style—using professional S-Log3 grading—is designed to make your memories look like a film, not a standard photo album.
What to Expect
There is no stiff posing here. I guide you naturally, letting the event's authenticity drive the coverage. If you are looking for someone to document your family rituals, a cultural festival, or a milestone with grit and soul, I am ready to join the journey. We capture the energy, the prayers, and the sweat, creating a visual story that stays with you.

I am Bean Singh. I do not believe in photography schools; I believe in the streets, the ghats, and the mountains. When you hire me, you are not getting a photographer who stands behind a tripod—you are getting a storyteller who lives the chaos of the event right alongside you.
