Travel & Lifestyle Photography

I capture real city life, street stories, and vibrant everyday moments through photos, mini-vlogs, reels, and digital collages, focusing on layered and energetic scenes instead of typical travel shots.

About Travel & Lifestyle Photography
How I See Travel & Lifestyle
I’m always chasing those everyday moments – the chipped walls in Mumbai, street cats, and the chaos of a desi market. My camera finds poetry in Bombay’s 'roz ke rang' (daily colours) and everywhere I travel. For me, it’s not just about snapping a photo, it’s about catching that feeling of sonder – knowing every person’s got a story as wild as my own.
My Maximalism Core
Forget clean lines and minimal vibes. My style is all about that layered, messy beauty you find on Indian streets. I frame the energy, the colour, and the history in every shot. If you get excited by vibrant chaos, we’ll vibe.
What Stories I Tell
- Urban storytelling photography: City strolls, local transport, animals who own the streets, and real moments that stick.
- City architecture photo series: From ancient facades to my ‘Door Diaries’, I chase symmetry, textures, and fading corners.
- Food & café lifestyle shoots: Not just food – I capture the mood, the connections, and the little details in every café hop.
- Culture and markets: I dive into bustling bazaars, shooting everything from colourful spices to portraits of vendors.
More Than Just Photos
Depending on what you want, I offer stills, mini-vlogs with voiceovers, aesthetic reels, stop-motion, and my signature digital collages. Mumbai inspires me, but I’m always on the move – happy to shoot anywhere the story takes us.

My Story
I’m Ruchit, trained as an architect but honestly, Mumbai’s chaos taught me more. I get lost in old alleys, dodge autos, eat way too much street food, pet every cat I see. I love the chipped, timeworn bits of the city. My camera? That’s how I write my messy love letters to Mumbai and all its strange, beautiful corners. Every photo, every collage, just me talking to the city.
My Work
Visual Storytelling with a Twist - I mix digital collage photography and street shots to tell soulful stories for brands and people.
Maximalist, Layered Style - My art is maximalist visual storytelling—lots of textures, chaos, and dreamy layers, like a digital scrapbook.
Wandering the City - I roam Mumbai, letting the city surprise me. The best frames? Always found by accident.
Heritage and Everyday Life - Heritage architecture portraits, crowded markets, street snacks—those are my favourite things to capture.
