I’m a photographer based in Mumbai, India. I’m interested in documenting the lives of different kinds of people. Themes such as migration, clashes of culture, religion, gender and sexuality, social contradictions, and anthropological studies of communities have engaged me the most.

I was a student of Art History, Silver Photography and Ancient Greek Literature at the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts in Italy and Greece. Previously, I have studied Photography and Film at the Sophia Polytechnic, and Psychology and Sociology at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. Ever since I began my career as a photographer, I have worked independently, with generous doses of encouragement, criticism and counsel from my mentors - Eli Reed, Sooni Taraporevala and Jeroo Mulla. My greatest artistic influences have been Egon Schiele, André Kertész, Raghubir Singh, Woody Allen, Wong Kar-Wai and Iranian cinema.

My work has been featured in Travel+Leisure, CNN Traveller, CNNgo.com, Verve, The Sunday Guardian, Lonely Planet, Elle, Femina and other publications. I was nominated for the international photography award Prix Pictet in 2009. My work has been exhibited at the Aegean Center in Paros, Lincoln Center in New York City, Villa Borghese in Rome, Art Bazis in Budapest, Strand Art Room and Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Mumbai and at the Delhi Photo Festival 2011. I have shot publicity stills for films such as Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Kaminey’, Sooni Taraporevala’s ‘Little Zizou’, and the Harvey Keitel-starrer ‘Gandhi of the Month’. I have been teaching Photography to undergraduate media students at Sophia College since 2009.
