About Me,
Life is an eternal quest about knowing oneself. It’s time to challenge ourselves, to rediscover our hidden traits, talents, and tendencies. I was fortunate enough to discover my interest in photography when I was twenty. Ever since then, I have worked towards defining my own style, honing my skills. I began by shooting Fine art photography and experimental self-portraiture in my hometown of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala better known as ‘Gods own Country’, before I transitioned into the ever-changing world of fashion photography.
I am influenced by past and present style; whenever I shoot I like to create stories with an underlying sense of narrative. I am deeply inspired by elements of influential style, film noir, old masters in painting and photography, Romanticism and untouched beauty. All of my experiences in life thus far have been reflected through my imagery, and continue to shape me personally, and as an artist.
After completing photography course from C-DIT (Centre for Development of Imaging Technology, Kerala), I landed my first break in the world of photography when, without any experience, I landed as assistant in photography to many reputed photographers. While working with them, I learned much about the industry, both on and off the set. Most importantly, I learned to be humble and to treat everyone around me with the respect they deserve.

Throughout my journey I have been fortunate to work with models, new faces, old faces, celebrities, cultures and colors, finding new inspiration in each project. As for where this journey is going to take me, I like to think that I'm working on it as my destiny.
