I am an independent documentary storyteller based in India. My interests include, but are not limited to Mental Health, Neoliberalism & Climate Change, Future Society & Democratic Thoughts. The intention of my Personal projects are to show people a slice of reality that they might not have realized otherwise. My background as a Computer Science Engineer informs my visual practice, and I am keen to use multiple disciplines like photojournalism, contemporary art, moving images, social media applications. The year 2018 was a turning point, and it pushed me to start my visual practice sincerely. In the same year, I attended Foundry Photojournalism Workshop, and received a scholarship to attend masterclasses from VII photo-agency. Thanks to Covid pandemic in 2020 that helped me to attend many online international workshops. This also helped me to come across many important books on contemporary fine art photography, politics of documentary film making, storytelling etc. I am a member of the Diversify Photo Collective. My works have been published with media outlets like Cortona On the Move (covid19visualproject), POY-Asia, BBC, Social & Political Research Foundation Journal.  

Besides researching on new ideas, I am producing independent personal projects and collaborating with other artists. 

I work on editorial and other photography assignments inside India.
