6. What would you say is your most distinct differentiator as a photographer, which enables you to stand out in your industry amongst the crowd? I t’s a funny one, I haven’t had an opportunity to mention this till date. But, the very reason I stand out of the crowd, is that I’ve always held my camera the other way around, i.e. THE WRONG SIDE UP”. I’m not sure how it helps, but I can be assured that it definitely agreed with me. Your extensive portfolio encompasses cov- er shoots for well-known international publications, including Elle, Marie Claire, Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair, to name a few. Would you say that you have a signature cover style, and if so, how would you describe it? I think my personal favorite is “A Portrait”, the key is to get the best out of your “muse”. To be able to not only understand The brand per- sona, of the magazine I shoot for, but also, to identify the strengths I can possibly highlight while I shoot my “muse”. In a way, be able to harmonize the two sacrosanctly.
