Using Flash in Street photography is quite difficult or sometimes uncomfortable, but it gives very satisfying results. After I bought "Ricoh GR Digital", I wanted to make use of the in-built flash in some difficult lighting situations. I also wanted to try flash in night people photography, especially long exposure pictures.

In 2014, I travelled through Meghalaya, exploring places including Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki, Mawlynnong, Riwai, and Mawphlang. Known for its lush landscapes, rolling hills, waterfalls, and living root bridges, Meghalaya offered a very different experience from the rest of India.

Portrait photography has always been an important part of my documentary work. Whenever I travel, I enjoy meeting people, learning about their lives and culture, and creating portraits that reflect their individuality.

In 2014, I photographed a Therukoothu performance in Nangamangalam, near Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. Performed through the night in village streets and open spaces, Therukoothu is one of Tamil Nadu's oldest surviving forms of folk theatre, combining music, dance, storytelling, and drama.
