Magazine & Celebrity Editorial Photography
I transform public figures and fashion brands into cinematic narratives. Every shoot is a story told through light, texture, and movement.

Another look from the Elle Digital cover shoot with Masoom Minawala. This heavily embellished, feather-like garment required a different approach to styling and lighting to capture its texture and opulence against a rich, warm background.

About Magazine Features & Celebrity Collaborations
When I shoot for magazines or celebrities, the magic isn't just in the concept. It is in the unseen work—like managing the drape of an embellished gown so it catches the light exactly right, or coordinating a 3-person team to handle rapid wardrobe changes while we are on the clock. My process ensures the garment flows with the story, whether we are on a studio floor or a Mumbai street.
People often ask if shooting celebrities or high-fashion editorials is different from my regular work. The answer is yes. The intensity is higher, the timelines are tighter, and the stakes—especially when dealing with designer couture—are massive. For features like my Elle Digital covers, I am not just taking a photo. I am responsible for the visual narrative. We start with a moodboard, but the real work happens in the sculptural draping. I personally ensure that every fold of fabric, every shadow, and every piece of jewelry aligns with the cinematic vision we agreed upon.
My workflow for these shoots is strictly structured:
- Narrative Alignment: I analyze the subject or the brand DNA. Is the story about romantic nostalgia or modern edge?
- Sourcing & Logistics: I do not just pick clothes. I pull options from top-tier designers, manage the pick-ups, and run a dedicated team to keep the garments pristine throughout the shoot.
- On-Set Execution: This is where I switch from stylist to director. My assistants handle the steaming and tape, while I focus entirely on the viewfinder, adjusting poses to make sure the silhouette looks premium and intentional.
Whether we are shooting on location in Mumbai with a classic auto-rickshaw or in a controlled studio environment, the goal is always to move past the superficial. We are building a world that feels both luxurious and authentic. If you are looking for an editorial shoot, I bring this exact same rigour. We do not just take pictures; we create visual statements that stand out in a crowded digital space.
