Behind the lens.

Ayaan is a Mumbai-based photographer with a habit of reaching for the camera whenever something catches the eye — a car parked mid-street, a skyline at the right hour, a coastline, a stretch of fog rolling through hills. There's no single subject here on purpose. If it looks worth a second glance, it usually ends up in the frame.

The approach stays the same no matter what's in front of the lens: walk, notice, shoot what's actually there. Nothing gets arranged beforehand and nothing gets asked to hold still or pose. What's on the site right now is mostly cars, simply because that's what's been photographed most so far — but it's the first chapter, not the whole book. Nature, cityscapes, and whatever else turns up will keep getting added over time.

If a photo's on this site, it's because the street, the light, or the moment gave it up freely — not because anything was staged for the shot.
