From an early age, I found myself captivated by the interplay of light, shadow, and the human form. Long before I could put it into words, strokes and scribbles became my preferred medium of expression. To nurture this passion, I pursued various Fine Arts courses at Bangiya Sangeet Parishad alongside my formal education.
My artistic journey was fueled not only by my love for visual storytelling but also by my fascination with extraordinary tales of mystery, meta physics and magic. This creative curiosity led me to the National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi, where I graduated in 2016 with a degree in Fashion Communication. There, I was introduced to the ethos of fashion and the magic of the camera—an encounter that redefined my creative path. Photography quickly became my chosen form of expression, and from that moment, the rectangular frame has been my artistic sanctuary.
After graduation, I had the privilege of assisting one of India's leading fashion photographers. Under his mentorship, I gained invaluable insights into the technical, creative, and commercial aspects of photography.
Today, based in New Delhi, I work independently to capture the intricate dance of light, skin, and imagination—creating imagery that resonates and evokes.
My work has earned industry recognition, including:
- Being twice selected as a Semi-Finalist in the Commercial Photography category at the Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2016.
- A nomination by the Fashion Design Council of India for the prestigious Fashion Photographers Hall of Fame 2020.
Since 2018, I have been honing my craft as a professional photographer and visual storyteller, leveraging my dual academic background in Bachelor in Design (B.Des) and Bachalor in Fine Arts (BFA.) This unique blend allows me to seamlessly integrate design aesthetics with fine art sensibilities, resulting in sophisticated and impactful visuals.
Along with my dedicated team, I offer a comprehensive suite of services, including:
- eCommerce, catalogue, and campaign shoots
- Conceptualization and art direction
- End-to-end production support
Our goal is to create compelling visual narratives that not only capture attention but also elevate brand identities with finesse and artistry.
