Being born in a fast-paced city like Mumbai, I’ve always found my soul drawn to the simple moments of daily life, the ones that made my days feel lighter. As I began to travel more, such moments started unfolding even more vividly, and I felt drawn to capture them. That’s when I started diving deeper into this world. Any subject in its most natural form attracts and inspires me in unique ways. It’s the simplicity of the subject that inspires me to capture its raw essence and preserve it forever. I'm especially drawn to rural landscapes and their elements, there’s something deeply honest and timeless about them that I love to photograph. I gradually came to understand the importance of communicating stories and cultures that often go unheard and unseen, especially those rooted at the grassroot level. In a world rapidly modernizing through technology, I feel a growing responsibility to bring rural narratives to light through visual storytelling. These stories deserve visibility, not only to preserve cultural identity but also to bridge the gap between tradition and progress.
