Hello, I am new to MC and London area but not new to photography. My photos have been published in vogue italia and Blur magazine, along with few other established print magazines. I have also shot fashion shows during Fashion week from Emma Berg to Samantha Rei. I have had three solo shows in Berlin, Boston and Ann Arbor respectively. I am currently doing an installation for the Smithsonian in December called "Beyond Bollywood".
My goal of photographing anything is based on the notion that aesthetics primordially and predominantly attached to perception as opposed to reality. From that view the space between perception and reality is where i want to position myself.
In terms of shooting models, i follow a very specific template which stems from the general understanding that it is possible to augment reality of photography even through a simple flip and rotate shot. all you really need is the willingness to bend light and make light of the external calamities that govern our lives.
I view all work as art. From that perspective I am unwilling to shoot anyone who just wants a pretty photo of themselves. There are a million ways and photographers for that. I am interested in the juxtaposition of reality and the perception of beauty in the form of human function and in the function of human form. All this may sound a tad existentialist and fodder at times, but without the clarity of purpose, all purpose lose clarity.
I am mostly available for paid shoots but in certain situations if the project interests me, i might consider it.
I use a variety of cameras depending on the project. While I find shooting in a studio to be better suited for a full frame DSLR, i do enjoy shooting with mirror-less and old Leicas. All this is to say, every project requires a tailored camera.
