I am a hobby photographer from India with the dream of capturing photographic stories that alter perceptions, make people happy, sad, afraid, angry, surprised, disgusted and, at their best, change lives. To this end, I explore the vibrant world that we all share through photography. I hope that you’ll find my work insightful, earnest and surprising.

My photography shows places, objects and people as they are: natural, undisguised, real, and of raw beauty.  The world is my studio, and the only equipment I need is a camera. I like to capture my subjects under natural light from the sun, the flames and the moon, not bound by subject or by location, but by the desire to see the world through the lens of honesty and compassion. More importantly, I think of photography as a language to see into my subjects’ lives, one frame at a time. Therefore, I carefully craft each still frame to tell a unique story.

When I’m not telling stories with photographs, I spend most of my days studying at UCLA, watching TV shows, reading thrillers or running. As a college student and photographer,  I am curious to explore places and learn about people and appreciate their culture. This sense of curiosity directs my work and is reflected in the way I curate my photographs.
