As @malavikamohanan_ warmed up to the earthy surroundings of rugged rocks, tender green saplings, and the occasional company of melodious birds, her grace heightened with each passing moment. The camera was a mere observer that evening as she breathed in the crisp air, basked in the warmth of the sun, and spoke with the gentle winds.
On the other end, the storyteller in me was elated with how the little hamlet and its surroundings proved to be an apt canvas for Malavika’s flowy, vivid outfits. And, as the rosy sun tip-toed along the horizon, it was a delight for the artist in me to observe and capture Malavika’s wordless conversation with nature.
These portraits thus chronicle the charming actress in her element, with my embellishments of vibrant colours, rich textures, and a lingering story in lap of nature.

When I met the sun one fine morning, I asked him, “where do you get the shimmer, the warmth, and the colour?”
He smiled.
That day passed in sweet nothings. Hours spent greeting the ocean at my feet, carving stories in the sand with my fingers, trying to figure what the birds keep singing about.
It was only at the hour of dusk, when the sun slowly receded from the violet skies, that I saw you.
And in that first embrace by the sea, bidding goodbye to the rosy sun, it all came to me. Where the sun gets his shine from, where the moon finds her undying glow, and why the stars spend all night sending sweet messages through their twinkles.
It is love that lights up the world and gives it all the colour and soul. Isn’t it, my beloved? I swear I felt it when we met, and have felt the same each day ever since.

It was in that moment that I felt the absolute glory of love. With your hands wrapped softly in mine, our hearts beating to the same rhythm, and mother nature pouring all her love into our union. That day, I wondered if the sun decided to put up a fanfare of shimmering golds and vibrant oranges only for us. Maybe the birds all spoke about us too as they flew across the summery sky. And the sea, oh, how she kissed our feet, gently but bathed in unending blithe.
Through it all, I could only think of one thing- how there’s no place I’d rather be, no life I’d rather live, and no love I’d rather cherish, but yours.

Whenever I look into your eyes, I see a lifetime. A lifetime of unfaltering laughter, cherished talks, and glorious sunsets. I see the first time we looked at each other, that cosy winter evening when we shared an ice cream, and the time you held my hand as we walked the shores of an endless beach.
I also see the thousands of days and memories yet to arrive, filled with love and light. And that’s all I need, really. To look into your eyes and know that a lifetime resides in there. That’s where I find my home.

As Prito and Priyanka walked hand in hand through the exquisite temple on bustling Bengaluru’s periphery, they relished the gentle caress of the warm sun on their faces. With each step, they chatted away and shared light-hearted giggles, cherishing each other’s presence as a serene melody of birdsong filled the air. Mesmerized by the enchanting ambience, I captured their tender moments through my lens, keen on immortalizing their love and adoration for one another in a frame forever.

The Haldi festivities of Sreethika and Ranadeep kicked off at The Wildflower in Medchal, with the sun shining bright and the beautiful yellow decorations popping against the greenery. It was a lovely sight to see!
The happy couple fully embraced the Haldi festivities, with their family members applying Haldi to their faces one by one. Laughter filled the air, occasionally accompanied by a refreshing spray of cool water, as the sun rose in a golden hue.
Watching the beautiful ceremony, I couldn’t help but smile at the bright colours and joyful laughter. However, my attention was diverted when Sreethika’s friend suddenly appeared and playfully splashed water onto her face like a mischievous wizard! Sreethika was utterly shocked and surprised by the sudden splash of saffron water. As her giggly friend rushed over with the water pot, startling Sreethika into a scream, I remained focused on the moment. Reacting quickly, I captured the delightful moment in seconds, preserving it for eternity.
I must confess that I appreciate candid pictures as they capture genuine moments that posed shots often lack. The essential element of a photo is to convey the emotions of the moment rather than just aiming for a flawless pose. Even if they’re not perfect, candid photos can evoke cherished memories that we hold dear. Ultimately, a picture without emotion is like a rainbow with only one colour.

The sun was gentle in the crystal blue skies of Maharashtra when I found myself in the charming city of Solapur. Perched on the Maharashtra-Karnataka border, the town is unique in its blend of Kannada, Marathi, and Telugu cultures. Tied together in a seamless symphony, they reflect the region’s lifestyle and celebrations. Given its cultural milieu, I was excited to document Priyanka and Aniket’s wedding, eager to bring a refreshing flavour into the photographs.
The momentous day unfurled in both serenity and exhilaration. As Priyanka adorned a silken saree of pink and blue with delicate gold ornaments, I took the opportunity to capture a few tasteful bridal portraits in natural sunlight before the ceremonies took over.
And before we knew it, we could hear the parrots chirping in gaiety on one hand, and on the other, the shehnais wove a celebratory layer to the cool air. The magnificent sun sprayed patterns of gold and copper over it all, painting a lovely wedding scene aptly complimented by the rituals, which reeled in both worship and light-hearted banter.
And just minutes after the rituals had concluded, squeezed in a few serene moments with the bride and the groom. Together, we walked around the wedding venue, which was sprinkled with patches of lush greenery, finding a rustic frame here and a vivid one there. As the sun danced across the clouds and shone on Priyanka, she looked nothing short of an Indian goddess, whilst Aniket complimented her gracefully in a silken white kurta, holding Priyanka in an embrace of warmth, happiness, and promise.
Looking back at the beautiful and vivid wedding, a few moments stood out in my memory, splayed with golden sunlight, eternal grace, and unending love. I’m sharing them here, hoping to remember these moments for years to come.

To be a bride is to gracefully pirouette through a vibrant medley of emotions. It is to live all the love, happiness, and anticipation that life can muster in a single day and in the presence of everyone you love and cherish.
At Nishitha and Sushanth’s wedding, I enjoyed capturing a holy union through two culturally unique but equally breathtaking wedding ceremonies. Dawn arrived with golden sunshine, the enchanting melody of shehnais, and the air was blanketed in the sweet scent of jasmine and pink roses. The wedding dais was bursting with emotions galore, forming a precious sight brought forth by a love marriage. As Sushanth tied the tali to honour the sacred bond, I saw Nishitha drop a pearly tear in silence. This delicate moment brought forth the sheer love and longing the bride must have carried in her heart for all this time. As if the joys, anticipations, and bittersweet goodbyes brought forth by marriage found their way onto Nishitha’s glistening cheeks, telling a powerful story through their fleeting journey.
By afternoon, the families had dressed up again to celebrate the big day in Malayali style. Nishitha wore a gorgeous white saree with delicate golden jewellery, while Sushanth complimented the mellow tones in a silken red shirt and white lungi. As the bright sun journeyed in the sky, for a brief moment, the two cultural ceremonies effortlessly entwined. It was time for Sushanth to tie the tali on Nishitha’s neck again. Only this time, we saw the elated bride engrossed in the joyous moment, celebrating all the happiness the ceremonies brought about through a cheery smile.
And thus, for the storyteller in me, these two contrasting images celebrate Nishitha’s rich and emotional journey on her big day. From laughter as bright as the sun and tears as precious as the moonshine, she lived the momentous wedding day to its full potential, and today, with these photographs, I wish to celebrate just that.

Amidst the balmy air of Bengaluru, Priyanka and Prito relished each other’s company in a heartwarming display of love. The orange sun, setting in the distance, cast a gentle glow upon the scene, making it all the more picturesque. I was lucky enough to capture these magnetic moments that were truly worth preserving in all its splendour.

Dawn unfurls over Varanasi, bathing ancient streets in hues of hope. A temple priest, an embodiment of divinity, finds solace in companionship and chai, as the city stirs awake. In the frame’s innocent riot, a cow sneaks centre stage, her curious nose nudging my lens. A fun, unexpected actor in this tableau of transcendence.
2009 to 2022, what a journey it’s been! From finding love on the free, story-strewn streets to weaving this raw, vibrant tapestry into my global fashion portraiture. Varanasi, you’ve added the perfect dash of rustic charm to my narrative. Lively chaos, divine simplicity, and chuckles hiding around each corner – oh, you’re a wild, colourful dance! It’s a riot, a revelation, a resounding ‘click’ that echoes in heartbeats and shutter speeds alike. Namaste, Streets. You continue to be my muse, my laughter, my first love.

Bathed in early sunshine, an old soul savors the cadence of Hindi news among Varanasi’s rustic whispers. His checkered veil, a pop of normalcy on the sun-kissed scarlet stage. A dance of light and shadow paints his face – a living canvas. A voiceless sermon of serene existence, in the bountiful theatre of life.
