A little about me

Curiosity drives
what I do.

A Commercial Photographer who enjoys experimenting with light, colour & composition.

Combines visual sensitivity with a practical understanding of production, from interpreting briefs and shaping moodboards to planning shoots, coordinating teams and guiding post-production.

I’m drawn to images that are bold, visually striking, and impossible to scroll past and I’m always looking for ways to get better at creating them.

My journey took a planned turn from medical college to photography. Outside my work, I’m fascinated by science, technology and astronomy. Whether I’m behind the camera or looking up at the night sky, I’m always curious about what lies beyond the obvious.

Curiosity

Beyond the
frame.

Curious about what lies beyond the obvious.

From photographing rocket launches, aircrafts in flight and astronomical events to following space missions and exploring the cosmos, I'm fascinated by the world above us and the technology that takes us further.

Away from the camera, I find myself drawn to spirituality, minimalism and conversations about life, existence and creation.

Work with me!

Let's create
something
stunning.
