My journey with photography began as a passing hobby using a point-and-shoot camera, but over time it evolved into a deep passion. I have travelled across diverse places in India and around the world, capturing the essence of people, places, and architecture with a unique perspective through my lens.

My father is a talented photographer himself and I always loved his unique perspective on capturing an image. In fact in his university days he even designed and developed an indigenous film camera nearly 50 years ago!

I have been photographing almost everything that came my way but eventually my inclination grew towards architecture, particularly fine art black & white genre and that has been my calling.
In recognition of my technical skills and creative vision, I was awarded the Licentiate Distinction (LRPS) by the Royal Photographic Society – a milestone that affirms my commitment to the craft and the quality of my work.
A highlight of my career came in 2018 when one of my images was shortlisted in Architectural Photography Awards (in the ‘Interior’ category) and I was elated to see my name appear in some of the leading international news publications like BBC, CNN, The Guardian amongst others. I have also won many other international photography awards.

I love travelling and capturing the essence of the place with my camera. I cover different genres like architecture, landscape, street, cityscape, portraits, culture and more.

I began bird photography in Feb 2016 ie a decade ago.

My journey in Photography started at 17 as a Press Photographer and I call myself as a Documentary Photographer. Over the years, I have documented people, places, fairs, and festivals across India capturing the essence of life and culture.Conducted three solo exhibitions in Hyderabad and numerous group shows and publications to my credit. I am also the co-founder for Hyderabad Photowalkers, one of the largest photowalking communities in India started in 2007 and organized over 200 photowalks, workshops, seminars and exhibitions. I am also the founding member of Indian Photo Festival, Hyderabad and had the privilege of serving as the Program Head during its inception.Along the way, I have mentored many emerging photographers and artists, while contributing to various social and community initiatives in photography.

My work has been recognized with several awards, including the National Geographic Moment Award (2012).

Presently I run my indoor studio in Hyderabad.

Photography is my passion. I click all genres.

I began my photography journey in Gandhinagar as a travel photographer, driven by a simple idea photography is the perspective through which I see the world. After moving to Hyderabad, I had the opportunity to work with aspiring models and modeling students, which gradually shaped my interest in portrait photography.

I primarily shoot in natural light, focusing on capturing authentic expressions and moments as they are. Alongside my career in the IT industry, photography has remained my creative outlet something that keeps me grounded, curious, and energized.

TPS has been an integral part of my journey since 2017. It was the first platform where I found like-minded people, and it opened doors to connect with experts in the field. More than anything, it has been a space where I’ve consistently learned, evolved, and stayed inspired.

My journey with photography began in 2009, when I picked up a basic Canon DSLR and started exploring the world through the lens. What started as curiosity slowly turned into a lasting passion, as I found myself drawn to the power of images to preserve mood, detail, and emotion. For years, that camera became my companion in learning the fundamentals of framing, light, timing, and storytelling.

In 2021, I transitioned to Sony mirrorless, and that shift opened a new chapter in my work. It was around this time that wildlife photography became a serious pursuit for me. The thrill of observing animals in their natural habitat, waiting for the right moment, and capturing both power and grace pushed me to grow as a photographer with greater patience and discipline.

At the same time, my frequent travels led me toward another equally compelling interest: street portraits. New places, unfamiliar faces, and spontaneous human expressions began to fascinate me just as much as wildlife. Today, my photography sits at the intersection of nature, travel, and people—each frame helping me document stories that feel both personal and timeless.
