Her street photography journey began in 2013 when she purchased her first DSLR. Later, in Mumbai, she began working as a photojournalist, which greatly increased her confidence to be near people and take candid photographs. She also took part in two APF workshops, which significantly aided her development as a street photographer.

Ahmedabad is home to her studio, the HeArt Space. It serves as a hub for numerous artistic endeavours. She intends to bring artists working in various genres and invite them to share their expertise.

​

"Nothing is as interesting for me as the streets," she says "it's full of obstacles and surprises since the situations keep changing every minute. I enjoy being outside since it allows me to be completely alone, pay close attention, and capture genuine moments. That truly distinguishes my street photography. In my photographs, I love to capture the colours, textures, human expressions, and a tiny bit of narrative."
