My studio is built on portability, affordability, and a commitment to crafting images with purpose. I also conduct experiential, hands-on workshops that help learners build real-world photography skills through practice and observation. As a former senior faculty member at Pixel Viilage and Seamedu School of Pro-Expressionism, I have mentored learners, designed industry-ready curricula, and taught both foundational and advanced photography techniques. Today, I also serve as the CEO of Digital Gappa, leading the YouTube vertical of Chandorkar Technologies. My focus is on bringing meaningful stories, conversations, and educational content to a wider digital audience through thoughtful production and creative direction. Whether in the studio, the classroom, or behind the camera, my mission is simple: to blend creativity, technical mastery, and experiential learning to inspire the next generation of creators.
