About

Photography, for me, is slow, thoughtful work - not just snapping pics for social. I travel all over India and beyond, chasing moments worth framing. My prints are stories, not just decorations.

What You’ll Find

• Landscapes: From Himalayan heights to Gokarna’s wild coast and the misty karavali belt, I try to show nature’s moods. Long exposures make the water look dreamy, especially in my waterfall and rivers series.
• Astrophotography prints: I’m obsessed with dark skies. Some nights I’m out shooting the Milky Way over Suru Valley or star trails above old ruins like Shettihalli Church. It’s a vibe - sometimes my bike sneaks into the frame.
• Black and white fine art prints: Monochrome feels honest to me. These images bring out texture, drama, and emotion, whether it’s a moody seascape or layered mountains.
• Infrared landscape photos & aerials: I use a converted camera to catch colours you can’t see - golden leaves, blue skies. With my drone, you get those top-down views, abstract coastlines, and unusual patterns.

How I Work

Editing isn’t just touchups - it’s part of my process. I use Lightroom and Photoshop, but only to bring out the real mood and light I felt. Each print is a piece of my journey, ready for your wall.
