I was born and grew up in New Delhi, India, and I am currently a travel and street photographer based in Amsterdam. I studied and worked as a software engineer for 16 years before founding my fourth entrepreneurial venture.
My true passion is travelling and photographing the world - its sights and its people. I love to capture and share the wonderful stories of our fellow citizens and the cities we live in through my photographs.
I have always loved photography, but ever since 2013, I have connected with my camera like never before. I remember playing with my father’s film camera as a child, then got myself a point and shoot in 2007 (which was stolen) and then a DSLR in 2010, but never used it enough.
But after my mother lost her long struggle with cancer in 2012, I picked up my camera again, and it became a tool for me to hide behind and connect with the world around me.
Today, I hardly spend a week without photographing, and find the experience of walking around Amsterdam with a camera almost therapeutic and meditative.
I believe travel is one of the most humbling and immersive activities one can do to make this world more connected. I capture daily moments of chaos, peace and serendipity as they happen.
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” — Ansel Adams
