After a couple of years of doing freelance jobs he decided to shoot weddings, as it was a question of survival now.

His innovative style of storytelling and creative shooting styles soon made the most wanted wedding filmmaker by the rich and famous from all around the country.

He started with Fujifilm in the year 2018 with the purchase of X-H1 and explains it as most liberating and rejuvenating experiences of his career. He is biggest fan of the colour tones produced by the camera in the extremely difficult light conditions of an Indian Wedding. He is particularly enjoys the ergonomics of the camera bundled with light weight XF lenses when shooting for long hours of Indian Weddings and it’s rituals. He thinks that Fujifilm X Series has produced the most honest and life like results that he has seen in his professional career so far !
