Stories Through My Lens
I see life as a suffer2safar (struggle to journey). My camera's always with me, whether I’m lost in the chaos of a festival or quietly watching a moment of prayer. For me, photos are all about feeling, not just following any rulebook.
What I Love to Capture
- Huge festival energy - the wild Dhunuchi Naach during Durga Puja in Delhi-NCR, the madness and emotion of Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai, or just the pure joy during Pride parades. I get right in the crowd for those real, raw frames.
- Intimate moments of faith - quiet Abhishekam rituals, kids dressed as Kanhaji, or the powerful, sometimes heavy scenes on the Banaras ghats during Pitru Paksha. For me, it's about catching that search for moksh (liberation) in a frame.
- Your big days - engagement, Haldi, wedding. I capture both the grand rituals and those in-between bits: laughter, side glances, and the stillness between you two. You get the epic and the real.
How I Work
My style shifts with the story. Sometimes it’s all about candid festival photography, and sometimes about dramatic portraits. Your vibe is what I want to show, not just your outfits or makeup. I deliver fully edited digital photos, plus short video reels if you want those little sneak peeks for Insta.
I don't share raw files - I spend a lot of time editing every pic so it feels just right.
Why Choose Me
If you want documentary style event photos that are honest, a bit cinematic, and full of feeling, I’m your person. Life’s messy and beautiful - let’s save those moments.

My Story
Hey, I’m Manya. Delhi’s my home, but honestly, my heart’s wherever my bike takes me. Ganpati visarjan in Mumbai, Durga Puja pandals in Gurgaon – I chase moments and shoot what hits me right. My camera’s like my third eye, capturing my journey and all the ‘main character’ energy I can muster. Sometimes, I just need that solo ride to remind myself, ‘ab toh shine karna hi hai’ (now it’s time to shine). Gotta hype yourself up, right?
