Portrait and editorial photography for people who'd rather be remembered than photographed. Based between Pune and wherever the light is good.
02 — Studio
01 — Portrait, Dusk
I spend more time before a shoot than during one. Scouting light, understanding what a person wants to be seen as, and building enough trust that the twentieth frame looks nothing like the first — that's where the real work happens.
Eight years in, my clients range from independent musicians who need a press kit that doesn't look like one, to founders who'd rather not look like they tried too hard. Every project starts with a conversation, not a mood board.
Natural and studio light, built around trust before the camera comes out.
Story-first shoots for press kits, features, and magazine work.
Controlled lighting setups for brand and product-adjacent portrait work.
Full-time practice shooting editorial portraits and press kits for musicians, founders, and small brands.
Shot cover stories and portrait series for a regional culture magazine, where the editorial eye actually got trained.
Learned lighting and client management the hard way, assisting on weddings and commercial shoots.
