Not in a vague, aesthetic, “I’m a creative person” kind of way. In a way where I cannot imagine existence without creating, thinking, building, shooting, editing, shaping, reworking, obsessing over, and bringing ideas to life. This has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been making something, imagining something, trying something a little different, a little bigger, a little more out there. Ideation has always been one of the most natural parts of who I am, and to this day, it’s still where I shine the most.
I’m a filmmaker first, but my work moves across photography, videography, and editing as well. Over the years, I’ve built around six years of experience in photography, three years in videography, and seven to eight years in editing. Long before any of that became professional, I was already creating on my phone; experimenting, editing, figuring things out, and growing up alongside the internet itself. I’ve seen platforms change, trends shift, styles evolve, and audiences move, and somewhere in the midst of all that, I learned not just how to create things, but also how to create in a way which connects.
A big part of how I work is always wanting to take things beyond the obvious. I’m always thinking about what will make something more unique, what will make it stand out, what will make someone stop in their tracks to take it in. I care a lot about polish, but never the kind that makes things feel safe or predictable. I want the work to have character, to feel distinct, to carry something that does not quite blend in. Maybe that makes sense, because at the root of it all, even my name, ‘Abhinav’, translates to ‘unique’, and in a lot of ways, that idea has been with me through everything I create.
I think that’s also why the word ‘CREATE’ means so much to me. It is not just a header on my website, it is probably the clearest summary of how I move through life. Creating has always been the constant. It is the thing that excites me, grounds me, challenges me, and pushes me to keep growing. This website is one step in that direction, but I know I’m only getting started. There’s so much more I want to do, so much more I want to learn, and so much more I want to create. I really believe all of us are here to make something of what we have, to do something meaningful, to create something bigger than ourselves, and that is exactly what I want to do. See you out there.
And if any part of that speaks to you, let’s create something.
