My Style: Mood Over Perfection

I’m a Mumbai photographer who chases the vibe, not just the shot. For me, every place has a story - sometimes it’s the chaos of Mumbai’s traffic, sometimes it’s the quiet hustle at a corner shop floating on Halong Bay. I look for the essence, not just the postcard moment.

Where My Lens Has Wandered

  • Mumbai’s skyline and Bandra-Worli Sea Link, especially at sunset or in that thick post-monsoon smog. You’ll see lots of aerial drone cityscape shots in my work.
  • Singapore’s light trails and shiny buildings, Hanoi’s “in motion” street life, and Bintan’s low-flying waves.
  • I get into the heart of local festival photo stories - Gudi Padwa’s Shobha Yatra (procession), women roaring down Mumbai streets on bikes, Goa’s Diwali Narakasura effigies.

Techniques That Make it Real

  • I use my drone for those wide, top-down city views, and sometimes get risky with it, flying just above water or crowds for a wild angle.
  • Nighttime long exposure photography is a big part of my process, especially for city lights or smoothing out seascapes.
  • Sometimes it’s my Nikon, sometimes just my phone - I’m not picky, it’s whatever gets the shot.

Editing: Where the Story Pops

I bring out mood and narrative in post - Lightroom, Photoshop, you name it. That’s where the vibe gets locked in, whether it’s gritty city drama or festival colors that slap you in the face.

My Story

Born and raised in Mumbai – yaar, this city never sleeps. I’m always chasing that shot above the chaos, finding beauty in monsoon storms, traffic blurs, or Diwali fireworks lighting up the skyline. But I’m not stuck here. From floating snack boats in Vietnam to the neon buzz in Singapore, I’m all about catching those real moments, wherever I go. My camera’s like my travel buddy, always looking for that perfect light.

My Work

What I Shoot - Aerial cityscape photography, sunsets, hyperlapse travel stories, long exposure, street scenes, concerts, cars, and more.

How I See It - I go for mood and movement—even when things stand still. Editing matters, but it’s the vibe that counts.

Where I Work - Mostly Mumbai, but I travel for projects. Shot in India and Southeast Asia. Always up for new places.

Getting the Shot - We chat about the feel you want, I chase it down. All images are copyrighted, just FYI.
