About Me                                           

I am a visual artist concentrating in multiple dimensions of life around me through my craft of photography.

Narrative documentation of society and human life

Being a son of professional social worker parents, whose work focused on disabled and mentally challenged children, I, from early on, developed a keen interest in societal issues. Women, children, tribal folk, urban city workers, industrial laborers and common people of all walks of life have been my focus of study as well as source of inspiration. My interest is to bring out the plight of working women and their children, issues of poverty, and discrimination and injustices towards the weak and disabled of society.

I try not to view people only as photo subjects, but strive for a closer look into their underlying life story. In my experience, only such an approach can bring about much more meaningful and, yet, unbiased documentation.

Documenting the work of any non-profit organization, which strives to help people on a social level, can be a multi-faceted task. Therefore, for every project, I spend time talking to the people in the organization and being with the people for whom organization works.
