Aerial Cinematographer | Aerial Mapping & Photogrammetry | Photographer

There was a time when I believed the best stories could only be captured from the ground. Then one day, I looked up.

That curiosity led me into the world of drones—not just to fly them, but to discover perspectives that most people never get to see. Today, I’m a DGCA Certified Remote Pilot, constantly exploring how technology and creativity can come together to tell stories from entirely new angles.

My journey didn’t stop with earning a drone licence. Wanting to understand what drones could do beyond photography, I went on to learn Aerial Mapping & Surveying, Photogrammetry using PIX4D, and Cinematography. Every course opened a new door—from creating cinematic aerial visuals to building accurate maps and 3D models that have real-world applications.

But long before drones entered my life, there was photography.

Photography taught me something that no classroom ever could—how to wait for the right light, notice the smallest details, and appreciate moments that often pass unnoticed. It transformed the way I see people, nature, culture, and everyday life.

Whether I’m walking through colourful streets, documenting festivals, capturing wildlife, photographing dance performances, or sending a drone into the sky, I’m always searching for one thing—a story worth remembering.

I don’t believe great visuals come from expensive equipment. They come from curiosity. From patience. From being present in the moment. Cameras and drones are simply the tools; it’s the perspective behind them that makes the difference.

I’m still learning, still exploring, and still chasing that next unforgettable frame. Every flight teaches me something new. Every photograph reminds me why I started.

This page is a collection of that journey—one frame, one flight, and one story at a time.

If my work resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect, collaborate, and create something meaningful together.
