content company called ‘Visual Kulture’ from Mumbai, India. Most of the time
he’s defending against being accused of misspelling Culture with a K.
He started calling himself a ‘Hyper-Artist’ when he hit three hyphens (and
counting) in describing what he actually does for a living. He spent a decade
working Hollywood in Hollywood and his company now conceptualizes and
creates content for Print, Web, TV and Feature film.
Although an Industrial Engineer and a writer/director with an American
feature film to his credit, Harsh’s passion for photography is apparent in his
work of wide ranging subjects from Travel, People to Architecture and
everything in between. His friends claim he has tamed somewhat since last
