This photograph captures a moment from Theyyam, the vibrant ritual performance of Kerala. I waited for over three hours to capture this precise frame, focusing on the intricate details, the colours, and the energy of the performance under the night sky. This image reflects my approach to visual storytelling: patience, attention, and dedication to detail transform fleeting moments into meaningful visuals. It serves as a reminder that focusing fully on a single moment allows its story and emotion to shine through. 

In my work, frames are more than boundaries - they are the language of storytelling. Each frame guides the viewer’s attention, sets the mood, and communicates emotion, much like a single moment in Theyyam can convey centuries of tradition and energy. I approach framing with care, considering composition, light, and perspective, ensuring every element contributes to the story. A well-crafted frame is not just a visual; it is a deliberate choice, an expression of intent, and an invitation for the viewer to look deeper.
