### My story

Hey, I’m Malavika. I split my time between Mumbai and Kochi, always chasing that next idea. For me, photography isn’t just about looking good – it’s about saying something, making you feel. I’m all about exploring stories, like how old glamour fades or how magazines shape us. Learned a lot at FAD International, surrounded by creative minds. Love the teamwork, from stylists to models. Seeing our vision in Elle India or PhotoVogue? That’s the real thrill.

### My work

- **Fashion Photography & Art Direction**: I shoot conceptual fashion images and direct editorial projects for brands, designers, and magazines.
- **Conceptual Shoots & Dramatic Lighting**: My style leans artistic, using dramatic lighting and storytelling through silhouettes and emotion.
- **35mm Film Fashion Shoots**: Sometimes I use 35mm film to get that raw, textured vibe in my images.
- **Collaborative Creative Process**: I work with stylists, makeup artists, and models – all about building a strong team vision.
- **Best Fit for Artistic Editorials**: I vibe best with creatives who want bold, editorial-style photos built on strong concepts.
