Cheesecake Cigarette and Creativity

Over 15 years of combined experience, and knowing a thing or two about professional photography.

Cheesecakes, Cigarettes, Cold coffee and Creativity keeps me going. I am not untidy though. I like organized chaos. Passionate about black & whites and fashion portraits and my work drives me on endlessly. My gamut of experience, as a photographer includes fashion, editorials, films, glamour, commercials, products, catalogs and portfolios. After displaying an aptitude for the craft, shooting on a film SLR camera, I was presented with a semi-professional digital SLR camera at the age of 17.

I made full use of that opportunity, worked on my skills and took them to new levels. Inspired, I challenged myself by pledging to shoot my Uncle's wedding photographs as a wedding gift to him. The results were outstanding, and the responses were overwhelming. Soon I found myself in Mr. Avinash Gowarikar's office. My pictures had spoken a little, and he appointed me as his main assistant. Under him, my level of exposure jumped manifold. I learnt and experienced the workings of the professional world, as I managed bigger and better assignments. Since then, there has been looking back. I have been an independent photographer since 2008 and work has taken me places - namely, USA, Europe, Isreal, Australia, New Zealand. I am very grateful to all the people I have worked with and looking forward to the future with positivity and next level of progress.
