Analogue & Experimental Photography

Whether using 35mm film, medium format, or the wet plate collodion process, my goal is to produce images with substance. Digital photography is a tool, but for specific conceptual projects, I prefer the tactile nature of traditional methods.

Motion blur and deliberate shadow play are techniques I use to remove the clinical look of modern high-resolution sensors. These methods require a high level of coordination between the subject and me. We work on the posing and movement before the shutter fires to ensure the result is intentional, not accidental.

I maintain the same production standards in the UK and India. My workflow includes:

• Analog and Digital Hybrid: I shoot on film or digital depending on the mood board and final output requirements.
• Collaborative Setup: Each shoot involves pre-production planning with stylists and makeup artists to ensure the creative direction aligns with the experimental process.
• Controlled Environment: Whether working in a studio or on location, I manage lighting setups specifically for the slower nature of experimental techniques.

This approach is suited for designers and editorial teams who want imagery with a distinct personality rather than generic, high-gloss photographs.
