This is a curated selection of my work that represents the core of my event photography style. I focus on capturing the authentic atmosphere, raw emotion, and decisive moments of every occasion, from grand spiritual gatherings to dynamic live performances. Each image is chosen to show my ability to tell a story and preserve the true spirit of an event.
Classical Dance & Performance
I document the grace and power of Indian classical dance, particularly Bharatanatyam. My work covers both live stage performances, where I use lighting to capture dynamic movement and expressions, and artistic outdoor shoots that place the dancer in a wider context. I focus on capturing precise mudras, fleeting emotions, and the story behind each performance.
Cultural Festivals: The Streets of Kashi
I specialize in documenting the vibrant and intense energy of street festivals in Varanasi. My photojournalistic approach allows me to get close to the action, capturing everything from ecstatic processions and fire-breathing performers to the expressive faces of devotees. The goal is to convey the raw, unfiltered spirit of these cultural celebrations.
Spiritual Gatherings: Bodh Gaya
I have extensive experience covering spiritual events in Bodh Gaya, including the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and daily temple rituals. I work to document the full scope of these gatherings, from wide shots of monks in prayer to intimate portraits and the quiet lighting of butter lamps. My process is unobtrusive, respecting the meditative atmosphere of these sacred events.
Sacred Rites: Manikarnika Ghat, Varanasi
Documenting the funerary rites at Manikarnika Ghat is a profound responsibility that I approach with the utmost respect and discretion. As a photojournalist, I blend into the background to capture the unvarnished reality of these ancient ceremonies. My work focuses on the elemental power of the pyres, the quiet dignity of the rituals, and the atmospheric context of the ghats, day and night.
