The Eye Behind the Lens
Shantanu Rathore traded a thriving IT career for a life fueled by passion and now excels as a travel and fashion photographer, content creator, biker, and rally enthusiast. His journey is an inspiring testament to following one's dreams. With an unwavering spirit of adventure, Shantanu weaves captivating tales through his lens, capturing the vibrant cultures, awe-inspiring landscapes, and hidden gems around the country and beyond. From the bustling markets of Delhi to the deserts of Rajasthan, he masterfully transforms moments into everlasting memories, transporting viewers to distant lands with his evocative imagery.
"The internet tells me that the ability to adapt to diverse shooting scenarios is what makes a camera versatile. So in March 2026, it would perhaps be fair to say that Shantanu is your Sony Alpha 7 IV.
I got to work with him on our first video episode, also our 100th featuring Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar for the Biker Radio Rodcast, India’s OG motorcycle podcast . Shantanu is industrious, dedicated, resourceful and a quintessential dreamer. His mind's aperture adjusts along with the people he engages with and does not back down from learning new tricks even as he takes on new assignments.
If you want a fresh eye, he’s your man."

"I’ve known Shantanu for nearly two decades, and it’s been great to see him turn his passion for photography into a full-time career. When I started Twisted Trails Adventures, he was my first choice for capturing our journeys.
He has joined us on multiple tours across Kashmir, Ladakh, and Uttarakhand, and has consistently delivered stunning photos and videos—be it portraits, landscapes, or wildlife.
What really stands out is his friendly nature. As a biker and traveller himself, he connects effortlessly with the group and captures moments naturally.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a talented and dependable photographer."
