FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

My passion for photography stems from my background in Bachelor's in Information Technology, which led me to pursue a PG diploma in Professional Photography from the esteemed Shari Academy of Professional Photography. During my education, I relentlessly honed my technical and creative skills, intending to create images that are not just beautiful but also impactful. My hard work and dedication have paid off, as I've been recognized with three prestigious awards - Mastercraftsmen of the Year 2023, Fashion Photographer of the Year 2023, and Vikram Bawa's Judges Award 2023 - by the end of my graduation.

My approach to photography is inspired by the world around me. My primary objective is to capture stunning images that convey a narrative, incorporating fascinating elements into my frames that add depth and interest to my compositions. From dramatic skylines to whimsical props and unexpected textures, I believe that it's these little details that can make all the difference and transform a simple photo into a true masterpiece.

Shot-1

Shooting at Dharavi in Mumbai was an experience that I will never forget. As a fashion photographer, I was always on the lookout for unique and interesting locations to shoot my models, and Dharavi caught my attention for its vibrant and bustling atmosphere.

As I was exploring the narrow streets and alleyways, I came across a wall of small houses that immediately caught my attention. The natural light falling on the walls created a beautiful gradient that matched perfectly with the garment I was shooting with. I knew I had to capture this moment, and I quickly set up my equipment.
