Here is a look at a unique mud house project where sustainable design meets natural living. ## Photos and videos - ![I love how this shot captures the scale and spirit of this incredible mud house. The double-height ceiling and large wooden doors create a grand entrance, while the natural light flooding in from above brings the entire space to life. This is what I mean by letting the architecture tell its own story.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e4ce8851-89c7-4125-a105-298b5a6ad4d1) - ![The kitchen is often the heart of a home, and this one was a joy to photograph. I focused on the interplay between the dark countertops, the warm wooden cabinetry, and the soft light from the windows. It’s a space that feels both functional and deeply inviting.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/765d2daf-bd57-4f0a-8b13-066a596d1474) - ![Capturing bedrooms is about conveying a sense of peace and comfort. The skylight in this room was a fantastic feature, bathing the wooden furniture and mud walls in a soft, natural glow. It’s a perfect example of how light can shape the mood of a private sanctuary.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1c079eba-ad9c-44f5-a579-9046a49eb8fd) - ![I'm always looking for the details that guide you through a home. This wooden staircase against the exposed brick wall creates a beautiful textural contrast. My goal was to capture the light drawing you upwards, showing the connection between the different levels of the house.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/fb6c8661-4507-457e-87f8-62a167942475) - ![This image shows the view from the kitchen into the dining area, a space designed for connection. I used the existing light to create a warm, intimate atmosphere, highlighting the intricate wooden ceiling and the way the different areas of the home flow into one another.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e0358b26-7785-4497-ae4f-40660f1e0424) ## About Featured For this mud house project, I spent time tracking how sunlight travels through the space via the sky vents. It was never just about capturing wide shots; it was about documenting how these natural light sources transform raw, earth-based textures into warm, living surfaces throughout the day. Shooting eco-friendly spaces, especially mud houses, requires a shift in how you look at light. In this Pune home, my goal was to highlight the contrast between the thick, earth-toned walls and the abundance of natural light pouring in from the skylights. I don't believe in heavy staging. Instead, I work with the architect to identify the hero elements—the wooden staircases, the exposed brickwork, and the specific way light hits the kitchen counters—and document them as they are. When natural light is low, I use a subtle Godox strobe setup to keep shadows soft and believable, avoiding that fake, high-contrast look you often see in architecture magazines. This approach works because it honors the design. If you are an architect or designer, you need a portfolio that shows your space working for the people who live there, not just a glossy, empty room. I offer a mix of wide-angle layouts and macro detail shots that capture the textures of mud, wood, and brick. I am based in Pune and frequently shoot across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area. Whether you have a villa, a 2BHK apartment, or a sustainable mud-brick project, I focus on the details that make your design unique. If you want photos that look as warm and inviting in your portfolio as they do in real life, let’s talk. ## About Girish Joshi I used to chase wedding chaos, but now I am hooked on the quiet stories inside homes.
