An independent commercial and editorial photographer, I have been a part of the industry for over twelve years. Widely published across national and international publications, my Portfolio includes Advertising, Lifestyle, Celebrity, Architecture & Interiors, Portrait, Product and Travel Photography. Besides a stint at Time Out Delhi magazine as Senior Photographer and as chief photographer with Binge, an online food journal, I have worked independently for various Indian and international clients over the years.

Whether it's a celebrity portrait or fashion or advertising, the idea remains the same: the images should speak a story that's beyond the obvious. I constantly strive to achieve that.
Every product, from leather, to metal to food, and pretty much everything else, requires a technical correctness in approach, the light and the shadows, the composition, the use of different colors, to achieve the harmony that showcases it in the best light. It's an enquiry that I make, a conversation that I have, with the products that make it possible to realize the correctness in my approach.
Merriam Webster describes the word as follows: \
\ adjective: of, relating to, or involved in the perception of relationships (as of objects) in space. Beyond the physical design and aesthetics of a space, it's the spirit that it imbibes, the human aspect of it so to say, is what my images aim to capture.
In my experience of photographing over 50 hotels and resorts, from five star properties to heritage to boutique and concept properties, I have realized that each one is unique, and thus requires a careful understanding of its character in the approach to its photography. The reconnaissance or Recce, therefore is often more important than the actual photography.
My travel images aren't strictly conventional travel images. They rather reflect what I see and experience as a photographer while out traveling. Therefore there are streets, and people; actions and moments: in essence there are stories in them. They are not about beauty, and yet they are beautiful.
Sushant is a calm thinker, a good observer and that makes him an immensely talented photographer. I have always believed that photography takes the understanding of a hundred things about your subject that are not in the frame and Sushant possesses the rare quality to see those and bring them in the picture. I have always enjoyed his pictures and also his selection of subjects. I am amazed to see the range of work he has done over the last few years, but not surprised as I had seen the potential years ago when he had recently started out. The journey has only just begun. Looking forward to more of this ongoing brilliancy. All the very best! :)
We were looking for a professional photographer who could capture the essence of Ratan Vilas- a hundred- year- old mansion turned into a heritage hotel. I was convinced that Sushant was the right person for the job from the very first meeting itself. Through his lens, he captured the spirit of the property in tandem with our expectations. A keen eye for detail paired with his enthusiasm and the perfectionism with which he approached the shoot made it a thoroughly delightful experience to work with Sushant. We were able to build a cherishable rapport with him and look forward to working with him on future projects.
It is rare that you find people who are as passionate as Sushant is about their work. His dedication is inspiring. I worked with Sushant on a health story in which he walked several several kilometers in the dark wee hours to reach the location while I slept in the hotel ! He wouldn't rest till he gets what he is looking for. It was a pleasure to work with him. I strongly recommend Sushant if you are looking for somebody who cares for images!
Did three photoshoots with Sushant. He really ensures that you are completely at ease and brings out the best in you. Have seen few people who put this kind of work in a single shoot.
On seeing the results of my very first shoot with Sushant, I was totally convinced of his ability to capture the best expressions and portray them in an extremely valid context, from even the most camera shy person. I look forward to working with Sushant for various assignments in future!
