About your guide

For over a decade, street, documentary, and travel photography hasn't been a profession for me, it's been the way I understand India.

Born in Varanasi, shaped by Kolkata — two cities that taught me how to read the streets long before I ever held a camera. I've spent these years on the ground, in the chaos, learning the rhythm of places most people only pass through. That fluency is what I've built my work on, and it's what I bring to every photographer I work with. I've mentored more than 500 photographers and led over 50 tours and workshops across India, from the lanes of Kolkata to Varanasi, Rajasthan, Ladakh, and Delhi. I've worked with first-time travellers and seasoned professionals alike, and I know how to meet each of them where they are and push them further. What sets the work apart isn't gear or technique, it's instinct. After years on these streets, I can anticipate a moment before it forms, find the frame inside the chaos, and teach others to do the same. That's not something you learn from a manual. It comes from time, attention, and thousands of hours of looking. I shoot with the Leica M11-P, after years with the Leica Q series, documenting India in its most authentic form, one street at a time.
