"Here's my story for the history books."
I'm a visual storyteller and cinematic photographer based in the culturally rich and naturally scenic landscapes of Kerala, India. Through microfilms, my creative mission is to freeze the essence of fleeting human emotions, heritage traditions, and the untamed trails of our wandering lives.
Whether capturing the intense colors and drama of an ancient Kathakali artist, the soft romantic narrative of a traditional couple under golden hour, or the dramatic heights of snow-capped peaks during intense Himalayan expeditions, my work is characterized by high visual dynamic range, rich palettes, and deep respect for the authenticity of the subject.
