My Journey & Collaborations: Behind the Lens
A look at the people, stories, and creative collaborations that have shaped my vision and kept me grounded as a photographer.
The little girl in Assam watching 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' would never have believed she'd one day photograph Kajol. This moment was a dream come true and a reminder of how far I've come. A memory I will cherish forever.
From my early days, a shoot for Bhaane that helped shape my style. This black and white portrait, with its raw, urban setting, is a reminder to always remember where you come from and how it all began.
A candid, smiling portrait from that same early Bhaane shoot. Capturing these moments of uninhibited joy has been a core part of my work from the very beginning.
A portrait of fellow artist and photographer Pushkar Thakur in his studio. Collaborating with and photographing other creatives is always inspiring; it's a beautiful exchange of energy and ideas.
An atmospheric shot in an underpass from my early work. I've always been drawn to finding beauty and story in everyday, overlooked spaces.
A powerful portrait from a 2017 shoot. The strong composition and the subject's direct gaze are elements I still love to explore in my work today.
A classic black and white portrait with a vintage car. This image from my early portfolio holds a lot of nostalgia for me and my journey in Delhi.
Another portrait of Pushkar, this time in his living space surrounded by his art. An environmental portrait that tells the story of the artist and his work.
A happy, candid moment in the artist's studio. This shot captures the joy of the creative process and the personality behind the art.
A behind-the-scenes look at my shoot with Pushkar Thakur. This image captures the artist in his element, surrounded by the tools of his trade.
About My Journey & Collaborations
This cluster is a map of my creative evolution. When I photograph fellow artists, like my sessions with Pushkar Thakur, I am not just taking portraits; I am stepping into their world to witness their process. I bring this same philosophy to every shoot. I want to spend the time before the shutter clicks learning about what moves you, so the final images feel like a genuine reflection of your personality rather than just a curated product.
Photography, for me, has always been about more than technical skill. It is about the ability to see and feel the story in front of me. Looking back at my early work with brands like Bhaane in 2017, I am reminded of how important it is to stay connected to my roots. That raw, urban honesty I captured then still informs the way I shoot today.
Whether I am working on a high-energy celebrity campaign or a quiet, introspective portrait session, my goal remains the same: to create a space where you can be yourself. This requires a collaborative energy—a back-and-forth between the person in front of the lens and the one behind it. When we work together, you will find that I prioritize comfort and candid expression over stiff, posed perfection. I believe that when you feel at home, your best self comes through naturally.
My approach is built on this foundation of human connection. I am here to capture the stories of homegrown labels, the quiet moments of artists, and the vibrant life of public figures with the same level of intention and care. If you are looking for a photographer who values the heart behind the image as much as the lighting and composition, I would love to tell your story.
