I look for textures, walls, and light that tell a story. Whether it is the raw architecture of South Bombay or a quiet green space, the environment becomes a character in your portrait. I focus on finding a location that matches your specific vibe so we can capture something that feels authentic rather than forced. Photography is often misunderstood as just pointing a lens and clicking. For these outdoor sessions, I approach it differently. I am looking for the interplay between light and structure. If we are shooting on a street corner or against a weathered wall, I am calculating where the sun hits or how the shadows fall to give the image that cinematic weight. I typically shoot these sessions using a 35mm focal length. It keeps the perspective natural, close to how the human eye sees, which makes the environmental portraits feel grounded. My editing process is minimal. I am not interested in retouching your skin until it looks like plastic. I use Photoshop for essential color grading, white balance, and contrast adjustments to ensure the mood we captured on location—whether moody greens or golden-hour yellows—comes through clearly in the final files. These sessions are for anyone who wants to move beyond the stiff, artificial look of traditional studio work. If you have a specific location in mind that feels personal to you, or if you want me to suggest a spot in Mumbai that fits your story, we will work together to find it. This is about capturing you in your element, using the city as our playground. ## About Aakash I'm Aakash, and I don't believe in plastic-skin portraits. I hunt for the light and the raw texture of a location to show who you really are, not just how you look on camera.
