Just one glance. One aching glance.That’s all you need to tell a story.Through these frames,I have tried to capture the stories of people whose paths cross my life every day.Sometimes in the most mundane & sometimes in the most extraordinary circumstances.Glimpses of their faces exude the mystery of their characters,leaving much to the imagination of the onlookers.The innocent faces and piercing eyes has a story to tell. These pictures are also expressions of gratitude.For the people caught in the frames have allowed me to capture a slice of their lives, a broken fragment of their personality.
Capturing emotions is one the most important parts of my work. I feel strongly about making photographs that i can connect with. Even though it is the emotions of my subjects that i am documenting, I find a reflection of myself in them. My love for the unexpected and candid moments gives me the ability to find visual order within the chaos of the world and an unparalleled creative vision. I love creatively capturing the weird and wonderful fleeting moments as they unfold in front of my eyes. Photography is the love of my life and traveling is like blood in my veins.
