Meet the Team
Althaf AR
Partner & Creative Director
Hi! I’m an architectural photographer and filmmaker based in Ernakulam, Kerala. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from KMEA College of Architecture, graduating in August 2019. Soon after, I began my journey as an Associate Director under the mentorship of Ar. Prasanth Mohan, an architect-turned-photographer and filmmaker. I then had the privilege of working as a cinematographer and associate with
Ar. Syam Sreesylam. These experiences not only deepened my understanding of architecture but also fueled my passion for capturing its essence through both photography and film. Today, I am a partner and the creative director of Studio IKSHA, where I continue to explore and innovate in architectural storytelling.
