Born and raised in Rajasthan, to the erstwhile noble family of Achrol, Abhay had a childhood which was anything but ordinary. His fondest memories are of summers spent in the jungles of Central India with his family who were all avid wildlife photographers. Those days in the wilderness spawned his interest in photography and inspired him to pick up his first camera at the age of 11.
 
Abhay’s list of clients include Satya Paul, Manish Malhotra, Chevrolet, Mercedes, Reebok, Suzuki, Hero Motorcycles, Maggi, Lipton, Relaxo, Vogue, Elle, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, Filmfare, Femina, Verve, Yash Raj & Dharma Films, Gionee, Tresemme, BBlunt, etc. His work is an interesting mix of fashion, advertising, film publicity and Bollywood celebrities.
 
Abhay lives in Mumbai with his wife and son.
