Photography happened to Sumit out of sheer frustration and strong dislike for doing something “ordinary & binding” in life. His deep hunger to find a grander and bigger expression of life through him led him to the Camera. With no formal coaching or guidance he took the plunge into the realm of pictures. 

The adventure began with travel photography while trespassing the countryside of western India, spending time with the natives in Gujrat,Kutch and Rajasthan, capturing their daily lives with the lens while they captured his soul with their innocent, primitive civility. It was a learning experience in more ways than one,with the camera and without. A look at these pictures tells the entire story, and how!

Sumit’s transition to fashion photography was equally defying as here too he ventured with little assistance and to his own surprise enjoyed the challenge and took up assignments with minimal experience or resources, however, the results belied the means used to produce them. His work itself relates his journey with the lens, a transition that is sometimes smooth as silk while gnawing with hunger for more & more. His insatiable thirst for more is also an ongoing story and he carves a niche with the shutter.
