I am a fashion and beauty photographer based between New York and Toronto. I grew up across India, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. That kind of itinerant childhood teaches you to read a room quickly: who someone is, how they want to be seen and what they're not saying. It also teaches you that beauty is not one thing. It looks different depending on where you are, who raised you, what the light is like. That's what I bring to all my work. I'm drawn to faces that have something going on beneath the surface and to the moment when a person fully opens to the camera.

I also direct and produce video, and often work across still and motion in the same production, building out a visual story for a project.

My work has appeared in Acne Paper and C★ndy Magazine. I photographed The Drawer by Vince Aletti, winner of the 2023 Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook of the Year. My commercial clients include Clinique, Victoria's Secret, and Vera Wang.
