"Engineering" Moments from India to Canada | Creator Kunal Maniya

Originally from India, Kunal moved to Toronto and began exploring the city—and his creativity—through photography. Starting with just a Google Pixel, he quickly found inspiration during a trip to Banff with friends, which sparked his deeper passion for capturing the world around him. He eventually upgraded to Sony gear and hasn’t looked back.

In this episode, Kunal shares:

How photography helped him discover Canada
His growing interest in videography, starting with CapCut and moving toward DaVinci Resolve
What he’s learning as a second shooter at weddings and cultural events like Garba.

Why he’s still figuring out whether content creation is a full-time path—or a lifelong passion alongside his career in mechanical engineering.

Kunal surrounds himself with creative friends who push him forward. He’s always experimenting with editing styles using tools like CapCut and Snapseed, and he’s eager to explore Western Canada and connect with more creators along the way.

Whether it’s a baby shower, a quiet street, or a family moment, Kunal is all about documenting real life through his lens.
