Human body, lights and shadows have had me fascinated since childhood. Even before I realized, I had already chosen strokes and scribbles over words, for expression. I ensured keeping in touch with various courses of Fine Arts at Bangiya Sangeet Parishad throughout my academia. What grew alongside, was a remarkable fondness for outlandish stories of superheroic strength and magic spells. I graduated from National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi in 2016. Studying fashion communication there, introduced me to the ethos of fashion and the wonders of a camera. Awestruck, I made a decision to reinvent my tools of expression, as these seemed to comply with my fascinations. And then onwards the rectangular frame has pretty much been my home. Post my graduation I assisted Mr. Saurabh Dua, one of the finest fashion photographers of the country, where I learnt the various implications, applications and trade of photography. Based in New Delhi, I now independently work towards capturing and layering light, skin and illusions to create stills that can move its viewers.
Was selected twice as Semi Finalist in Commercial Photography category in Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2016.
Nominated by Fashion Design Council of India for Fashion Photographers Hall of Fame 2020.
