THE UNSEEN SCENE

14 views

This project explores the tension between authenticity and role-playing, and how the act of looking perfect becomes second nature, shaping even our most private moments. Through film, a model’s day becomes choreographed and her gestures refined. Routine transforms into performance, and her spontaneous inner self quietly fades. A brief moment of dance reveals a glimpse of what she has lost before she returns to the version she has learned to become. The Unseen Scene asks: in the pursuit of perfection, what parts of ourselves do we leave behind?

I’m a Paris-based fashion photographer and film director from India, creating cinematic worlds where elegance meets emotion. With a background in photography and fashion film, my work blends high-end aesthetics, bold lighting, and a sense of surrealism to explore identity and beauty.
