Brand Campaigns & Lookbooks
I translate brand narratives into visual stories. My approach focuses on deep art direction and conceptual lighting to define your collection’s identity.

About Brand Campaigns & Lookbooks
My process starts with a defined narrative arc. Before we even step on set, I develop a tailored moodboard and shot-by-shot storyboard that aligns with your collection's essence. This ensures every frame—whether it’s a close-up of jewelry or a full-length fashion editorial—is intentional and directly serves your brand's specific message.
Building a brand identity requires more than just photographing products. It requires a visual language. When I collaborate on a lookbook or campaign, I act as both photographer and art director. My goal is to craft a series of images that function as a cohesive story rather than a static catalog.
The Creative Workflow
Every project is different, which is why I tailor the technical approach to the collection. For some brands, this means a clean, high-end digital aesthetic that highlights material textures and sharp details. For others, it means incorporating 35mm film or mixed media to introduce grain, raw emotion, and a distinct, nostalgic texture.
What to Expect
- Pre-Production: I manage the art direction, from sourcing unique props to coordinating with external stylists and HMU artists to ensure the team vision is unified.
- Execution: I specialize in creative lighting, using everything from projector-based chiaroscuro to natural light, depending on the vibe we are chasing.
- Deliverables: My packages are designed to provide both high-end retouched images for campaigns and a selection of color-corrected assets for web or social media use.
I operate primarily out of Mumbai and Kochi but am available for projects that require a conceptual lens. If you are looking to move beyond standard product photography and create a series that leaves an impact, let's look at your brand’s specific needs.
