Hi, I'm Hetal!

Zimbabwean born and bred, Indian by heritage, and now proudly Australian by choice. I'm a true global citizen who carries a world of remarkable stories and lived experiences, now bringing creative and unique perspectives from behind my lens.

In 2019, the world changed, and so did mine. I was hit with a perfect storm of simultaneous life challenges and I needed a way to move forward. Armed only with my mobile phone, a deep love for nature and passion for photography, I discovered something profound: I didn't need expensive gear to create moving visual art. The most powerful creative tool was already sitting right in my pocket.

Over the last seven years, this self taught practice has become my daily masterclass in mindfulness and presence. Navigating the challenges I faced alone gave me a whole new perspective. Through the lens, I realized my connection to everything, and attachment to nothing. My digital artistry is a reflection of my journey and lived experiences to date.

Rethinking Photography

Many of us still hold onto the old idea that beautiful photography requires a massive, expensive camera. If you have time and the means to afford them then that's great. But let's be honest: with the rising cost of living and in a world of instant sharing, it make sense to use the tool already in your pocket. Today’s smartphones are absolute powerhouses, packed with advanced technology that can match the quality of traditional gear without the heavy, intimidating setup. By breaking away from the mental block that tells us we need pricey equipment, we open up a whole new world of creativity. Mastering the mobile phone is the simplest way to keep up with changing tech, conquer your creative fears, and capture high-quality, professional memories that you can actually take with you wherever you go. Whether you want me to capture the perfect moment or learn how to do it yourself, I am here to bridge that gap.
