I shoot portraits and fashion, but honestly, I’m always chasing that raw, real moment, like the vibe I felt at Maha Kumbh in Varanasi. I’m not big on spirituality, but the energy there was wild, unforgettable. That’s what I want in my photos – something that feels true, not just pretty. Every frame, I’m hunting for the real story. ### My work - **Portraits, Fashion & Commercial Photography**: I shoot portraits, fashion, and commercial projects. I also do videography and direct shoots. - **Authentic Style**: Not into perfect poses. I look for genuine vibes and real stories in every shot. - **Bengaluru Sessions**: Most of my work happens in Bengaluru, but I’m open to travel for the right project. - **Collaborative Shoots**: Love working with stylists, makeup folks, and models. Got an idea? Let’s chat and make it happen.
