A note on the work
Between
what is seen
and felt.
I am drawn to the moments that are difficult to explain: the pause before a confession, the distance between two people in the same room, or the way a city can hold a memory.
My work moves between cinema and photography, observation and invention. I look for honest details, human experiences, and images that stay with us after the frame has gone dark.

05 / The person behind the frame
Curious about
people. Drawn to
their stories.
I'm a filmmaker, photographer, and screenwriter originally from Nepal and currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My creative journey began with filmmaking and led me to New York, where I studied at the Digital Film Academy and developed my foundation in film production.
My interests later expanded into street photography and the stories found in everyday life. I worked with Moktan Digital, gaining professional experience as a photographer, videographer, and video editor. My photography work has included weddings, events, concerts, and couple portraits, alongside my personal exploration of street photography.
Whether I'm working with moving images, still photographs, or a screenplay, I'm interested in people, emotions, and the details that make a story feel real. For me, visual storytelling is about finding a story worth telling.
