Focusing on the right light, shadows, shapes, and patterns Vishal isn’t the photographer you come across everyday. His work simply speaks for itself, “contemporary street photography” is what some may call it but Vishal likes to showcase imagery that he finds interesting — street corners, stairwells, geometrical shapes — from his everyday life. Give his website and Instagram a look, we’re almost sure that you’ll be as hooked as we are!
