I make people stop.

I shoot, edit and plan content that is built for attention. Over ten years and thirteen roles, from Shillong to Ahmedabad to Toronto, I have filmed launches, edited documentaries, photographed food and built websites. Today I work inside Hyatt Regency Toronto.

Full time on the floor, working alongside every department. I also created photo and video content for the hotel's Summer Carnival, my first piece of hospitality marketing.

I don't just show the hotel. I show the experience.

Hyatt Regency Summer Carnival

My first hospitality marketing project, shot at the hotel where I work. I covered the day from setup to the last song, then turned it into a recap film and a full photo set the team could share.

What this shows for the marketing role: planning coverage of a live event, capturing people, food and atmosphere, and delivering a full set fast enough for the team to use while it still mattered.

A world premiere at TIFF

Chand Tara: The Legend of Taramati, a film by Mohammad Ali Baig, had its world premiere at TIFF Lightbox on September 16, 2026, during the festival's market. I made the recap: the lineups on King Street, guests at the TIFF wall, the Q&A, the red carpet and moments from the film.

Marketing & social

How the journey lines up with the Marketing & Social Media Coordinator role at Hyatt Regency Toronto.

Photos, videos, stories, reels

Done for over ten years. I shoot on DSLR and cinema cameras and edit in Premiere Pro, After Effects and CapCut.

On-property content

Already inside. I know the hotel's spaces, rhythms and people, and I created content for its Summer Carnival.

F&B and seasonal promotion

A full food and bar set. Low-light tabletop, overhead and macro work, ready for menus and feeds.

Events and partnerships

Launch experience. For NASTIK I handled invitations, guest tracking, filming and the edit, with an MP and authors on stage.

Content calendar and metrics

Organized by habit. Accounting and data entry taught me to track every figure. I plan in Google Sheets and report what moved.

Working across departments

Every day. As a houseman I work with housekeeping, front desk, banquets and engineering, and I speak English, Hindi and Punjabi.

I don't just show the hotel.
I show the experience.

I understand hospitality from the inside, and my creative background lets me turn those moments into photography, video and social content.
