Sarin is a fashion photographer and a true maverick. Recognised and featured internationally, his experimental style and finesse transforming fashion photography gives a global edge while also ushering in a new era of exploration. His journey with the art form began 10 years ago, his undying passion and commitment have led him to become one of the world's leading photographers.

The strongest, most defining aspect of Sarin's aesthetic is that he never conformed to the conventional 'rules', but made his own. His visual style is unmatched because it stems from his global roots, and yet transcends them to speak a contemporary language. Instead of following western trends and masters, he crafted his own rare style by drawing inspiration from his personal treasure of memories and experiences in his own vision; small anecdotes of his childhood years, or places he'd visited, or celebrations he'd seen, the culture and traditions that influenced him while growing up.

Each image by Sarin carries this signature backdrop, this unmistakable sense of heritage and pride in one's own culture. He combined this sensibility with the technical and artistic sophistication of modern photography to deliver images that are distinctly his own and so unique that they have won him appreciation and accolades the world over.
