THE STORY

For me, photography started as a way of paying attention. I’d notice how afternoon light changed the mood of a room, or how a staircase looked different depending on where you stood  small things most people walk past without a second look. That habit of noticing is really what shaped everything that came after.

That curiosity led me to Light & Life Academy in Ooty, where I trained formally in photography, with a focus on architecture, interiors, and food. It was there that I understood photography wasn’t just about documenting a space  it was about interpreting it.

Today, my practice is built around architecture, interior, and product photography, working with design firms, architects, and brands across Kerala and the UAE. But behind every brief, I am looking for the same thing  the feeling a space was designed to hold, and the moment light reveals it.

Light is central to how I work. I don’t treat it as something that simply exists in a room to be captured  I shape it, wait for it, sometimes work against it, to bring out the texture, depth, and atmosphere an architect or designer intended. A well-lit frame can make a space feel the way it was meant to be experienced, not just the way it looks.

Alongside commissioned work, I run a personal daily practice called 100 Days of Spaces, photographing interiors and structures without a brief, simply because something in the light or the geometry caught my attention. It keeps me observing without expectation, and often teaches me more than assignment work does.

Over the years, this practice has taken me across residential, hospitality, and commercial projects, with my work featured in 250+ international publications, including ArchDaily, Architectural Digest India, Elle Decor, Dwell, Wallpaper*, Houzz, Archello, and The Plan, among others.

At the centre of it all is the same instinct I started with — to look a little longer at a space, to find where the light falls, and to find the frame that reveals something about it that wasn’t obvious at first glance.
