My Story

Most folks call me Cop Shiva, and yeah, that name just stuck. Was a cop in Bangalore once, before that a schoolteacher. Always been curious about people, their stories, all the roles we play. My camera? That’s my real window now. Moved back to my village, built a house for Amma, Gowramma. Funny thing, not a single photo of us together. So, we started playing dress-up again, making memories real – that’s how 'No Longer A Memory' happened. Me and Amma, back to our old games.

My Work

Photo Performance & Theatrical Portraits - I create story-driven series, mixing photo-performance art and theatrical family portraits inspired by real memories.

Imaginative, Scene Building Shoots - My shoots feel like theatre – props, costumes, household things. We build worlds, not just click photos.

Exploring Identity & Memory - My work looks at identity, masquerade, rural life, and childhood. Playful, colourful, but always asking deeper questions.

Real People, Real Stories - No need to be a model. I love working with anyone keen to create memory-driven photo series that feel personal.
