About Travel & Documentary Photography/Videography
Why I Shoot
Photography and videography is my way of making sense of things. I started with just a phone camera after college didn’t go as planned, and that’s how I found my freedom. With my lens, I chase real stories—sometimes gritty, sometimes beautiful, always honest.
How I Work
I’m not here for just pretty pictures. I’m out looking for the soul of a place. You’ll find me in Mumbai’s rains dodging traffic, lost in Varanasi’s gullies, or stuck to the wild chaos of Lathmaar Holi. Even in the silence of Spiti’s frozen rivers or the thick monsoon hills of the Ghats, I’m after the vibe, not just the view.
I shoot cinematic travel films and stills using a full-frame camera and a drone for those mad aerial shots. My style leans towards immersive narrative visuals, mixing moody tones and vintage colors. It’s all about atmosphere and telling it straight.
What I Cover
- Urban chaos photography in city streets and old bazaars
- Cultural festival documentation like Masaan Holi, Theyyam, Birdev Yatra
- Drone landscape videography in wild places across India
Where I Go
Mostly based in Mumbai, but I travel anywhere for a good story. Whether you’re an individual looking to save the memory of your journey or a brand wanting to capture the pulse of a place, I’m up for it. Let’s make something raw and real.

My Story
Started with a Motorola in 2017, clicking whatever caught my eye. College mess-up in 2019, felt like game over, but nah—I picked up my camera and ran with it. Mumbai’s chaos, Spiti’s snow, both shaped me. I’m all about chasing stories, living for the road, and capturing life as it happens. Photography gave me my people, my freedom. My dream? Travel, shoot, repeat. Never looked back.
