I'm a street and documentary photographer based in India. I love to travel for personal projects, assignments, and commissions. My focus is on telling the stories of people in communities that are often overlooked.
What fascinates me about photography is the blend of reality and imagination. There's the reality of that split-second moment captured, and then the endless sparks of imagination that arise as viewers interpret the image in their own unique way.
Recently, I won the prestigious La Vie Un Blue International Photography Residency 2024 in Nice, France. My work has been exhibited in major cities around the world, including New York, Australia, Paris, Nice, Venice, Russia, and India.
