From My Archive: Creative Explorations and Candid Moments
A look into the messy, beautiful process behind my shoots, the outtakes that didn't make the final cut, and the experimental projects that define my journey.
An outtake from my shoot with the talented musician Taba Chake. I love capturing artists in their element, even in the quiet moments between takes.

About From My Archive
These aren't just outtakes. When I shoot, I keep the quiet moments—the blurred motion, the candid glances, or the creative chaos in the studio. It’s in these unpolished frames that I often find the most truth. I don't chase perfection; I chase the feeling of being present in the moment.
My archive is a living, breathing collection of the moments that shaped how I see the world. As a photographer in Delhi, I often find myself balancing between high-production editorial shoots for brands and raw, personal storytelling. This cluster represents that balance.
You’ll find a mix of experimental sessions—like the impromptu morning shoot in a suit of armor that caught morning walkers by surprise—and the quiet, soulful portraits of artists like Taba Chake. I don't believe in hoarding images, but I do believe in the story of the process.
Why does this matter for your shoot? Because it shows you how I work on set. I want the environment to be a safe space. Whether we are shooting in a home-style studio in Lodhi Colony or wandering through nature for editorial portraits, my priority is making you feel comfortable enough to drop your guard.
I don't aim for the rigid, correct pose. I aim for the breath between words, the messy studio desk, or the laugh that happens when the camera is just about to click. If you’re a fellow creative, an artist, or someone who simply wants photos that feel less like a transaction and more like a collaboration, this is the kind of energy I bring to every session.

I believe that every shoot should feel like a conversation rather than a factory line. My work is all about finding the warmth and light in you, without the stiff, corporate vibe. Let’s create something that feels like home.
