People keep asking what camera I use. My honest answer: whichever one I had on me. Here’s every tool that trained my brain and eyes, with a frame from each.

Salt flats, Mumbai

Morning in Paris, 2024

As a photographer, I can say this with certainty: some of my favorite shots weren’t the result of a perfect plan. They were found in the middle of repetition — shooting daily, experimenting, failing.

One photo might be okay. But a thousand? That’s when a story starts to emerge. A voice. A point of view.

Quantity becomes clarity over time.

It was very challenging to shoot this scene handheld that too in fading light. I was using very high ISOs and shutter speeds of around 1/50 s but then thought of experimenting a little more. Next one, I did a in-camera zoom burst. Curious to know how? I was using the 24 - 120 mm lens at f 4.5, I had set the scene at 85 mm and rotated the zoom ring while taking the photo. I was quite happy with the results, and it was something different.
