Jewellery Girl

“I’m fascinated by the style and culture of Indian jewellery, along with the long, traditional hairstyle of Indian women. Here I combine them with some fantasy elements.”

Prayer Time with Grandma

“This is a beautiful memory of when my grandma taught me and my brother to pray. She was always funny and filled with joy!”

An Old Lady Standing Near the Window

“This is a tribute to my grandma. She used to love feeding crows, so I wanted to capture that memory.”

Mango Seller

“I saw this mango seller in the local Panjim market. Her colourful outfit and traditional attire were so fun that I had to capture them.”
