New York Based

Photographer

& Filmmaker

My name is Raghav, and I am a biotechnology researcher currently pursuing further studies. I have always been drawn to observation and to how small details shape larger stories. Whether in a lab or in everyday life, I find meaning in what most people overlook: light shifting across a surface, color changing with time, or a moment that exists only once. Photography became my way of slowing the world down and preserving those details.

My work lives at the intersection of science and art. As a researcher, I am trained to look closely and to notice what is subtle, fleeting, and often unseen. Photography is an extension of that mindset. Through light, color, and composition, I document moments the way I study biology: with precision, patience, and a deep respect for detail. Here, through my vision in a lens, observation becomes expression.
