Having shot a host of faces since the onset of his career, he has churned out some of the most strikingly beautiful frames through his camera lenses.

What followed going ahead in life was an impressive portfolio of thought-provoking and impressive work, taking his fame on a global platform. Working with almost a majority of professionals associated with this industry, he has discovered and popularized a number of models who have grown to conquer the fashion sphere.
My favorites are the ones that allow me to say something that goes beyond caste, religion, creed, ethnicity, the reason for him having beautifully captured some of the stunning black models. “It’s amazing to click these beauties as they say a lot through their expressions and that’s much more than just being a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress,” says the ace fashion photographer.
