About My Style File

When I plan a shoot, I do not just focus on the outfit. I look for lighting that sets the mood and a setting that tells a story, whether it is a high-contrast studio session in Mumbai or a quiet, candid moment in a bookstore. Every frame is designed to capture a feeling rather than just a product.
