LIFESTYLE / BRAND

What I’ve discovered about creating and putting yourself out there is that it’s not only about your story, your product, and your vision. It’s about what you have to offer that is of value. Everyone has something. I’d love to work with you and create that.

family life

I’ve been documenting and photographing families, starting with my own, for over 25 years. There is a magic to witnessing and recording the love, chaos and connection families have and creating something for them to treasure.

VISUAL journalism

As a staff photographer for India Currents Magazine and a Catchlight Local Fellow, my goal is to show the diversity of the Bay Area Indian and South Asian communities. The diversity and nuance that is in the Bay Area is unique. Showing that uniqueness by creating not only images of representation not seen in mainstream but also an archive of this history is vitally important in establishing identity, opportunity and a sense of belonging.

Art Prints

My art print shop features images that I never tire of looking at, that always sparkle at me and evoke emotions from the simple to the complex. I hope you will enjoy these images as I do, or in your own way, as you decorate your home, living and work spaces.
