In 2016, Raj was a Data Scientist at a Silicon Valley startup; with a comfortable 6-figure salary, a status that came from success in a sexy field, and only a mild sense of mid-life dissatisfaction.

Then his partner, his then-wife of 8 years, came out as transgender.

Seeing his partner find joy in his true self forced Raj to ask the question, “What do I need to change in my life to feel true to myself?”

That journey led him to train as a sex and relationship coach, pursuing his creative passion, and eventually, finding a fulfilling life as an artist and photographer in NYC.

Today, as a personal branding photographer, he helps coaches and entrepreneurs convey their full, multifaceted, vibrant stories on camera.

He believes that being true to yourself and being vulnerable with others is not only a great way to live, but also the best way to build a deep, genuine, and lasting connection with your clients and audience.
