ORIGINALLY FROM
Bay Area, California
BASED IN
I have photographed a lot of families and couples at this point. People from every kind of background. The picture I am usually after is the one fifteen minutes after the session has started. Someone makes a joke. The kid runs into the frame from somewhere off camera. That is the picture.
Based in the Bay Area. I shoot in natural light whenever I can, and I travel for work I believe in.
"I'm not looking for the perfect moment. I'm looking for the honest one."
I grew up in Mumbai. I came to California in 2016. I run a team during the week and I make photographs on the weekends, and most of the time I am doing some version of the same thing. Which is trying to be present with people, and to pay attention.
Two different worlds. I belong to both.
About
my work
My work is guided by natural light and a calm, unobtrusive approach. I pay close attention to how light moves through a space, shaping moments gently rather than forcing them.
Ease & Light
I photograph people from many backgrounds and origins, shaped by my own experience as an immigrant. Different stories, shared humanity.
Culture
I’m drawn to transition. The subtle shifts that mark time passing, and the photographs that quietly become evidence of it.
Growth
I work with the same families over years, - returning as children grow, dynamics evolve, and life adds new layers.
Continuity
Real life, beautifully held.
THE KIND OF WORK I’M DRAWN TO
Ryan & Lindsey
“We showed up late and a bit flustered, and Aman immediately took control in the calmest way. He had everything planned, adapted without stress, and somehow made it all feel easy. The photos were thoughtful and beautifully framed.”
Elijah
“We’ve worked with Aman for years now, through holidays and big milestones. What keeps us coming back is how patient and grounded he is. The photos feel personal every time, not like repeats of the last session.”
Lauren
“Aman’s sensitivity to light really stood out. He even suggested adjusting our timing because the light would be better. Between the weather, our ideas, and the pace of the day, he handled everything quietly and delivered photos we genuinely loved.”
Kevin
“We first worked with Aman in 2020, and we’ve returned every year since. The quality of his craft is consistently superior, but what matters more is how real the moments feel. The images capture emotion without ever feeling posed.
Sadaf
“The photos were ready sooner than expected, and I loved them instantly. Aman is so patient, warm, and very intuitive in how he works. Nothing feels forced, and the moments felt very much like us. He’s our go-to!”
Puja & Kishan
“Kishan and I were floored when we saw the photos. We couldn’t stop looking at them. They felt emotional, beautiful, and so were we. Aman captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and every image made us feel something.
