About Documentary & Travel Photography

What Drives My Lens

I use my camera to document real life as I see it - raw, sometimes spiritual, always honest. It's not just about clicking photos for me, it's about chasing stories that feel true.

Where I Find Stories

• Varanasi pulls me in every time. The ghats, especially Manikarnika, have their own energy - fire, grief, rituals, and acceptance. Om Namah Shivay. I try to capture the smoke, the faces, the Aghori sadhus, all as they are, without drama.
• Bodhgaya is the opposite - calm and disciplined. I look for peace in the chanting monks, the old temple light, and the focus of pilgrims. That stillness says a lot.
• On the streets, I follow the chaos - dancers, old forts, alleyways. I want my work to feel like visual storytelling of culture, not just travel snapshots.

How I Shoot

• I let the mood guide me. Sometimes I go gritty black and white for raw emotion, sometimes full colour for festival energy.
• Obsessed with natural light - whether it's harsh, soft, or flickering, it shapes my photos.
• I don't pose people. I blend in, catch candid street portraits, and try to feel what’s happening around me.
• Not just stills - I also do documentary travel short films for a deeper story.

What I Offer

If you want authentic, immersive visuals - for a project, a publication, or your own journey - I’m open for collaborations across India.
