I’m drawn to the fantasy of fashion and the humanity of people. Working with brands to craft fantastical campaigns that remain human and photographing people with the intrigue that comes with fashion is my joy and raison d’etre. My love for music and the longing to bring rhythm into my imagery compelled me to start making films that I shoot and edit in order to tell stories sometimes beyond the scope of fashion. Recent experiments with Super 8 are allowing me to bring nostalgia – a driving emotion behind my work- to these stories. Over a career spanning more than 10 years, I’ve worked with names such as Elle India, Cosmopolitan India, Grazia, Verve, Claudia Güdel, Baiushki, Junglefolk, Otràvie, McCann, Nicobar, Payal Jain, Kanakavalli, Arvind labels, Eka Co. and many others. I’ve also been exhibited in group shows in Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Zürich, London, Minnesota and a solo show in Madras.
