My Featured Editorial and Portrait Photography
This collection brings together the moments and projects that define my journey, from soulful celebrity portraits to the quiet, intentional beauty of slow fashion.
This is what it looks like when a concept feels like a dream. For Kavya Trehan's EP 'HYPERREAL', we created a world that feels like it's from a forgotten archive of the future, shimmering with memory but resisting time. This editorial portrait captures that eternal, otherworldly feeling.
A powerful, poised portrait of Malavika Mohanan. For this celebrity shoot, we focused on creating a moody, cinematic atmosphere that highlights both the fashion and her intense presence. It’s about building a vibe where strength and vulnerability can be seen in a single glance.
I’m obsessed with the stories woven into Indian textiles. This studio shoot for the slow fashion brand Wandering Silk is all about celebrating handmade craftsmanship. The vibrant colors, textures, and the model's quiet confidence come together to tell a story of sustainable fashion.
There are moments in your career that feel like history. Photographing Anasuya Sengupta after her historic Best Actor win at Cannes was one of them. This black and white portrait was about capturing the raw power and grace of an artist at the top of her game.
A photoshoot with me should feel like home, a space where you can let go. This genuine laugh from a shoot with Wandering Silk is everything I aim for. It’s in these unposed, candid moments that the most honest and beautiful portraits are born.
A quiet, introspective portrait of Tahir Raj Bhasin. My goal in a celebrity portrait session is to find the person behind the persona. The warm lighting and relaxed pose create a sense of calm, allowing for an authentic and soulful character study.
Capturing the elegance of Indian wear against a rustic backdrop. This fashion portrait for Baavli plays with natural light and the soft textures of the lehenga. It’s about creating a timeless image that feels both classic and fresh, celebrating our rich design heritage.
Fashion should be fun. This playful shot with Malaika Arora, using a quirky prop, shows how we can build a whole world out of a concept. It’s a high-energy editorial moment that’s both stylish and memorable, created by collaborating with an amazing team of stylists and artists.
About Featured
My process is rooted in connection rather than just mechanics. Whether we are planning a high-fashion editorial or a candid portrait session, I prioritize building a space where you feel seen. It is not just about the clothes or the lighting; it is about the story we build together in those few hours, ensuring every shot feels honest and true to who you are.
This gallery is a highlight reel of my favorite collaborations, spanning celebrity editorials, sustainable fashion campaigns, and intimate portraiture. When I work with artists like Anasuya Sengupta or Malavika Mohanan, the aim is always to peel back the persona. We put a lot of energy into mood boards, lighting, and styling because those details are what turn a photo into a narrative.
For my work with conscious brands like Wandering Silk, the focus shifts to the textures and the human stories behind the textiles. I want the viewer to feel the weight of the fabric and the intention of the maker. I don't believe in factory-style shoots. I prefer a collaborative, unhurried environment where we can find the magic in the imperfections.
I am based in the National Capital Region, but I travel across India for projects that resonate with my soul. If you are looking for a photography experience that feels more like a creative conversation than a rigid job, let's chat. I typically work with a small, dedicated team to keep the vibe relaxed, whether we are shooting in a studio with complex lighting or using natural light for a raw, street-style aesthetic. My goal is always to deliver images that you feel connected to long after the shoot is over.

I don't just click photos; I build a space where you can let go. Whether I am capturing a celebrity's quieter side or a brand's handmade textile story, I am always looking for that honest spark. It is never just a shoot to me, it is about telling a story that stays.
