Featured Cinematic Travel Films & Aerial Stories
A glimpse into my world, capturing India’s soul through cinematic ground shots and drone perspectives. This is where my journey meets your screen.
This is the magic I chase with my drone. An aerial view of the Seven Sisters waterfall in Meghalaya, where countless streams carve their way through the lush, green landscape. This is the kind of perspective that shows the true scale and beauty of nature.
A cinematic moment captured in the heart of Spiti Valley during winter. This drone shot of a convoy navigating the winding, snow-dusted roads isn't just a picture of cars; it's the story of adventure, resilience, and the breathtaking scale of the Himalayas.
This is what devotion looks like from above. Capturing the sheer scale of the Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri, with over a million people united by faith, was an experience beyond words. My drone allowed me to witness the festival not as chaos, but as a beautiful, moving pattern of belief.
Sometimes you find the most unexpected things when you fly. I spotted this crocodile in the backwaters of Bhopal during the monsoon season. It's a rare and powerful shot that reminds me how much unseen life thrives just beyond our view.
Mumbai, the city of dreams, captured at night from a perspective few get to see. The glittering lights and endless energy of the city's skyline tell a story of ambition and life that never sleeps. This is the urban pulse of India.
A moment of pure serenity. Capturing the Big Buddha in Phuket, Thailand, as the sun set over the ocean was a spiritual experience. The vibrant colors of the sky against the calm presence of the statue show that beauty and peace can be found anywhere in the world.
This shot is personal. It's my Thar, Roxx, at the Kundalpur Jain Temple, a place of immense faith for me. It represents the start of my journey, blending my passion for travel and adventure with my spiritual roots, all thanks to the blessings of Bade Baba.
Taking a trip back in time to 90s Bombay. For this conceptual shoot, I wanted to capture a love story that felt simple and timeless, without the noise of modern life. It shows my passion for telling human stories and creating a specific mood through my lens.
There's a unique romance to train journeys, especially during the Maharashtra monsoons. This aerial shot captures a train making its way over a bridge surrounded by lush greenery and waterfalls, a perfect example of the beautiful journeys I love to document.
About Featured
When I shoot, I’m not just looking for a good frame, I’m trying to capture the rhythm of a place. Whether it’s the chaotic energy of the Jagannath Rath Yatra or the silence of a Spiti winter, my process involves mixing ground-level emotion with drone perspectives to tell a story that feels alive. It is less about expensive gear and more about being in the right place, at the right time, with the right intention.
This gallery is a highlight reel of my journey so far. It represents the range of my work, from the high-octane energy of India’s cities to the quiet, untouched corners of the Himalayas and the monsoon-drenched ghats of the Northeast.
My approach to cinematography is hybrid. I use high-end Sony Mirrorless cameras for depth and detail, but I’m never afraid to pull out a phone to capture a raw, candid moment or a specific texture that a massive rig might miss. The drone work you see here is about more than just altitude. It is about scale—showing how small we are against the backdrop of a massive temple festival or how vast the landscape is when a convoy moves through Spiti.
I believe the best stories come from being present. When I document a destination, I am looking for the 'why' behind the view. Is it the devotion in a pilgrim's eyes, or the 90s-style nostalgia of a retro photoshoot? Each image here is a piece of that puzzle. If you are looking to create a film that moves beyond standard travel videography and actually connects with an audience, this is the aesthetic I bring to the table. Let’s collaborate to turn your location or experience into a visual narrative.
