About Me.

INSPIRED BY UNADORNED TRUTH.

I am an Indian-American photographer, dancer and movement teacher. Currently based in LA, I work globally as a documentary and portrait photographer to provide female-identifying entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs of color, and indigenous wisdom keepers with visual storytelling that aims to amplify their authentic voices.

It was during my years as a professional touring dancer, surrounded and influenced by some of the most powerful creative minds in the industry, that I picked up a camera to document my experiences backstage and around the world, and discovered my love of visual storytelling. As dance shifted into my soul’s work, photography very quickly became my career.
