With a profound passion for history and travel, my photography is an intimate part of my journeys. It captures the souls I encounter, the spontaneous magic in
fleeting moments, and the silent stories etched in diverse landscapes.
My approach to photography is deeply influenced by a fascination with light, the dramatic interplay of shadows, and the timeless elegance of black and white imagery. I strive to harness these elements to create compelling compositions that evoke emotion and resonate with viewers on a personal level. It is my belief that through this visual language, I can connect with audiences, transcending verbal communication and sharing the profound emotions that underpin each captured moment.
​
In a profound personal journey, I spent three years living in India, a country that has captured my heart and imagination. During my time there, I immersed myself into the local art scene, contributing to the Chennai Photography Biennale — an event celebrating the dynamic and diverse nature of contemporary photography. Building on this enriching experience, I curated my own exhibition titled "The Hidden Faces of Venice" at DakshinaChitra Museum in Chennai. This exhibit was a culmination of my artistic exploration and offered viewers an intimate glimpse into the enigmatic allure of Venice through a series of evocative portraits and scenes.

Without any pretense, my photographs are a testament to the beauty of transitory instants. They reflect a vision of travel photography as an art form that conveys the essence of a time and place, portrays the land and its people in their most genuine state, and is not confined by geographical boundaries.
