“Art washes away from the soul, the dust & debris of everyday life.“
— Pablo Picasso
Knowing very well that long-term consistency triumphs over short-term intensity, I have always engaged myself with art, and it has never failed to revitalize me in the pursuit of my long term goals.
The following are only some of my most notable photographs and fine-art works - I have restricted the uploads to personal projects and to custom prints for which I have obtained prior permission for publication from clients.
END OF THE TUNNEL
The last two years have been the most formative years of my life and rightfully so. This work represents my journey form utter chaos to clarity, a journey most people can relate to at some point of time in their life.
This work is a reminder to everyone out there that no matter how long the journey, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. All you need to do is keep moving.

LOVE FOR THE ROAD
A Personal Project Showcasing my love for road-trips, the thrill of driving and above all, the amalgamation of emotions that come with it. This is a long-term project intended to cover experiences with every machine I have had the chance to own and with every individual I had the privilege of sharing my journey with.
And of course, it showcases my love for FORD cars and the Ford philosophy in general - Very few brands offer such a visceral driving experience.

LIGHT IT UP (EXPERIMENTAL)
My first venture into experimental photography was purely due to a custom conceptual print demanded by a client - I have been hooked to the concept ever since.
I am still finding my own signature style in this genre, but one thing is for sure I have never had so much fun making prints. New idea’s keep popping up, get crazier by the day and I intend to realize them all eventually.

AN ODE TO CHENNAI
Having spend most of my adult life in this serenely beautiful city, I have come to realize that it has personality of its own - She is calm, graceful and more mature than you can handle.
Chennai has so much to offer to the world and frankly what’s there not to love - What it lacks in luster, it makes up for it with its heritage & culture.

TAMIZHAN DA - BRANDING
We complemented the “Tamizhan-Da” merchandise with a unique mix of photo-journalism and commercial photography, backed by the inspiring stories of seemingly normal people who overcame significant roadblocks to achieve extra-ordinary feats.
We tried to resonate with people’s aspirations to become the best version of themselves while evoking a sense of unity and mutual respect for each other.
