I’m a Mumbai-based photographer and consultant, and I’ve been using photography as a storytelling medium since 2019. My work spans the human condition, sport, wildlife and animal welfare. I strive to create authentic visuals on relevant social causes, challenging my audience to embrace the complexities of my subjects.

My work has been featured by Manchester City FC, Coastal Conservation Foundation, OSCAR Foundation, Ra Foundation, VNC India and Music Heals International, among others. As an avid naturalist, I regularly contribute to citizen science projects by documenting high-quality observations of diverse animal life.
