Automotive photographer in Mumbai
I started photographing cars in 2018, at 14, and I’ve shot them for a living since 2022. Today that means launches, dealer events, rolling car-to-car shots and close detail work, mostly for Mercedes-Benz and BYD through Landmark Cars, and for Renault. Editing and colour happen in-house, and you get selects the same day.
How a shoot works
Send the brief: the car, the date and where it’s happening.
I shoot it, with 2–3 camera operators for bigger jobs.
Selects reach you the same day.
Finals, edited and colour-graded in-house, within a few days.
