About Portrait & Fashion Photography
Why I Shoot Portraits & Fashion
Most model shots look the same, right? I get bored of those too. For me, it's about that 'photos lene ki sensation' (the thrill of taking photos) and making something that actually feels real. I don't just click people, I shoot 'hoomans' - with stories, moods, and all the awkwardness that makes us human.
How I Work With Light
Light is everything. I chase that perfect golden hour for a natural light fashion shoot, but I'm also not scared to go full drama with artificial lights if that's the vibe. Sometimes it's soft and cinematic, sometimes it's sharp and bold. Depends on what your story needs.
What We Can Create
- Editorial model portfolio for fresh or pro models
- Cinematic portrait photography for actors, creators, or anyone who wants a moody, film-like shot
- High-fashion saree photography, especially if you want something modern and not the usual
- Mumbai outdoor photoshoot - beaches, streets, or wherever the vibe feels right
My Editing Style
No 'plastic skin', no fake stuff. I edit in Photoshop but keep it real. I love colour grading for mood, and classic black & white if that's your thing. Your skin will look like skin, not a filter.
Where I Shoot
Mostly in Mumbai - Colaba, Versova beach, or even a simple indoor spot with good window light. The location is part of the story we tell.

My Story
Hey, I’m Aakash. I shoot hoomans, not mannequins. I hate those stiff, plastic photos – feels fake, na? I’m all about catching the real vibe, whether it’s outdoors with Bombay beach light or just chilling on the street. Sometimes I go dramatic in a dark room, single flash, movie-style. Lately, I’ve been showing folks how I work, helping other photographers skip the awkward posing and over-editing trap. It’s all about the mood, not just the click.
My Work
Fashion, Portraits & Events - I shoot fashion, model portfolios, editorial, cinematic portraits, pre-wedding, couple, and concerts.
Story Over Pose - We build a story together. I’ll guide you so you never feel stiff or awkward.
Natural Light & Cinematic Mood - I love natural light, but I also play with flash and single-light for cinematic portrait shoot.
Minimal Photo Editing - I edit in Photoshop, but only to enhance the vibe. No plastic skin, just real and raw.
