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.
