Profile
I'm a Fashion Communication student at NIFT Hyderabad specialising in photography, videography, and visual direction. I work end-to-end — concept, storyboard, shoot, edit — because I think the best visual work comes from one consistent eye across the whole process. I approach every idea with empathy, curiosity, and creative intent, and make sure all of it comes through in the final frame.
