I'm a Photographer and Producer based in New York City, but my roots go all the way back to Kolkata, India, where I was born and spent my early years. My experiences, including living through the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia, have shaped my worldview and deeply influenced my work. My own multicultural background has fueled my dedication to showcasing a variety of perspectives through art.

After moving to Canada as a teenager, I went on to earn my undergraduate degree in finance and attend law school, ultimately practicing for several years at top law firms in NYC. But despite my success in law, I always felt like something was missing. Fortunately I had a great education in the arts and my first film camera to help me find the way. In 2016, I made the decision to follow my passion and pursue a career in photography. I went back to school and earned a Masters degree in Fashion Photography from the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

Leveraging my expertise in art, law, and finance, I also bring a distinct perspective to production work, collaborating with companies like Coca-Cola, Maybelline, Timex, Clinique, blueMercury and AMC, primarily handling budget management and contracting for large and complex commercial shoots. I'm able to work closely with clients to ensure that every detail is meticulously considered and executed to perfection and to contribute my voice to inspire new viewpoints.

Through my work, I seek to inspire others to see the world in new and exciting ways, challenge traditional notions of beauty and push the boundaries of what is possible in photography and art.
