ABOUT ME

I’m a native of Kerala, the most southern state in India. From a young age, I’ve always had a fascination for art. I lost touch with my inner artist on the path from painting animals as a child to becoming an aerospace engineer. I discovered my lost soul in the camera, but as the adage goes, “You can’t find what was never lost.” It all began with my camera phone, which changed the way I see the world. I began using light to paint my vision and received praise and encouragement. Later in 2012, I made the decision to advance with the digital camera. I started looking into and revealing the underlying beauty of curves, lines, shapes, and various emotions through my lens.

Over the course of a year, my curiosity took me to numerous locations around the world. I made many friends, biked through nature, took more than 500000 pictures, and realised I wasn’t cut out for a regular job. I quit my job to pursue my passion and find my light.

MY VISION

Is to explore the unexplored and present it through my lens in front of the world.

MY GOAL

To inspire people to do things that give happiness, to experience, to travel and want to share my stories and build something better in the world. I found my ikigai in photography. I am excited to meet you. Are you?
