"One of the most courageous things you can do is identify yourself, know who you are, what you believe in, and where you want to go."

Let me share with you
My Story
Since my early childhood, I have been deeply passionate about the creative arts. I still remember the joy I felt putting crayons to paper - also a far less popular choice called the walls of my house. My passion for art and imagination soon found expression through pencil and charcoal mediums, which I used to materialize the images of people. As time passed, I ventured into the digital realm of photography, which complemented my 10+ year career in Marketing. I started capturing events, projects, and my much-loved portraits and headshots, which helped me evolve as a photographer.
Apart from my love for art and portraiture, animals have also played a significant role in my life. Dogs, in particular, have been a constant presence in my life, and I have shared some of my earliest memories with them. From fearlessly approaching strays to imaginary adventures with my dogs, I have always been captivated by their authenticity, unconditional love, and zest for life. I have a deep love for the animals we share our lives with - how they can make everything more joyful and meaningful. The unique bond we have with them is so special, but their time with us is also fleeting, and it has inspired me to shift some of my focus by including them in my works. I want to celebrate and preserve their little and big personalities and capture the bond and essence of our beautiful relationships with them through my photography.
Approach + Style
inspiration
I see myself as not just a photographer but a photojournalist and artist that documents the stories of people and creates unique and expressive moments of today to be enjoyed for a lifetime. My approach is rooted in respect, patience and curiosity. I believe that authenticity and artistry can exist together and that quality always wins out over quantity every time.
I love to play with light and shadow and focus on the details. I am inspired by the pages of Vanity Fair and utilize both natural light and studio lighting for the flexibility, control, and look it brings to my work. Through a combination of lighting techniques and post-production style, I strive is to create images that are rich, bold, and emotive with a touch of contemporary flair.
