Mine is a dreamy mind full of fancy and fantasy…
Limitless possibilities, limitless imagination…

Photography professes self-expression…
Undeterred passion, unbound compassion…

I love nature & architecture, travelling & writing,
Exploration & experimentation, music & dance.

‘I joined photography design at NID to channel my passion and curiosity for the world around me. From architecture to photography, the fire that keeps me going is my urge to create. To me photography is a means of self-expression, a depiction of life as my reality. Because no one sees things in quite the same way, it is my vision, expressed. I choose to photograph subjects that I feel deeply about, like music, nature conservation, dance, architecture, people… because I believe that you are what you feel and you can only make a difference if you truly care.’

 ‘Ankita is amazing to work with and she has a discerning eye which is a rare quality to posses and much required in the field of photography. She has managed to capture the most candid of images during my show at Lakme Fashion Week and has truly enhanced the visual personality of the brands past season with her beautiful shots. Especially the images with Alesia have captured many eyes and I have her to thank for it. I hope to work with her soon again as her talent is hard to come across.’

 ‘It must have been fated. We came across many photographers but Ankita’s personal touch really helped us making our decision. It was definitely worth it, we were so excited with the final outcome and we feel the most important moments were captured.  My experience with Ankita and the team was wonderful. Ankita knew exactly what was going through my mind at each step of my journey. I am sure with her experience she understands the emotions a girl goes through before her wedding. I remember the day of my wedding Ankita kept calming my nerves she could see I was going through all these mixed emotions so for me it helped having Ankita around.’
