Featured Commercial & Creative Photography Work
A selection of my most impactful campaigns, editorial portraits, and product styling where storytelling meets technical precision.
This shot is all about the vibe. I wanted to capture the feeling of a perfect cup of masala chai, focusing on the dynamic action of the pour and the swirling steam. This kind of beverage photography uses moody lighting to create an atmosphere that you can almost feel and taste.
For beauty and cosmetic photography, the details are everything. This macro shot focuses on the flawless skin texture, the vibrant color of the lipstick, and the fresh look of the cherry, creating a bold and sensual image perfect for a skincare or makeup campaign.
It was an absolute honor to work with the legend, Sachin Tendulkar, for this Unacademy brand shoot. This video gives a glimpse into the on-set process for creating professional corporate portraits, even with high profile personalities.
This image brings back so many memories. My goal with this food styling was to create a sensory experience, highlighting the contrast between the tart green mango and the spicy red masala. It’s a great example of telling a story with food.
I love collaborating with makeup artists to push creative boundaries. This editorial portrait uses a monochromatic color scheme, matching the floral styling with the makeup to create a striking and high fashion beauty shot.
Here’s a look at how we created the comic book style campaign for GoDesi. We achieved all the distortion and color pop effects in camera, not in post production. This shows my hands on approach to creating unique advertising photography.
This is from my 'Food Family Portrait' series, where I deconstruct a single ingredient to show its diversity. This knolling photography style requires precise food styling and clean lighting to create a graphic, almost scientific look for product showcases.
Creating a powerful actor headshot is about capturing personality. For this portrait, I used a combination of red and blue gel lighting to create a moody, cinematic feel that is both confident and engaging.
About Featured
Most of the visual impact you see here, like the distorted GoDesi campaign or the moody chai shots, comes from in-camera techniques rather than heavy post-production. My approach relies on tethered shooting and precise lighting setups, so you see exactly what we are building together while we are still on set.
Building Visual Stories
Photography is not just about the final frame. It is about the intent behind it. Whether I am shooting a high-stakes advertising campaign for brands like Samsung or Unacademy, or focusing on the intricate textures of food photography, I start with a clear visual hook.
Advertising & Campaigns
For commercial projects, I handle everything from concept development to the final execution. I prefer creating effects in-camera, such as the comic-book style distortions for GoDesi Foods, because it keeps the final image authentic and tactile. My sets are collaborative spaces where we use top-tier lighting gear and tethered setups to ensure the client, stylists, and I are aligned on the vision in real-time.
Portraits & Editorial
My portrait work aims to capture presence and personality. Whether it is a clean editorial series or a moody headshot, I experiment with gels, lighting, and shadow to pull the subject's character into focus. I often team up with professional makeup artists to ensure the styling complements the lighting, resulting in visuals that are clean, bold, and ready for publication.
Food & Product Styling
Food is a sensory experience. My styling process focuses on composition and texture to make the viewer pause. I work with macro lenses and focused lighting to highlight fresh ingredients, steam, and color contrast. If you are looking for someone to bring your product story to life with technical accuracy and an artistic eye, let us get to work.
