About Daylight & Golden Hour Portraits

Natural light in Mumbai changes fast, and I know how to use that to make your photos pop. Whether it is the harsh midday sun near the old architecture of Fort or that soft, hazy glow during golden hour at Marine Drive, we do not need a studio. I keep the session moving and keep you comfortable, so you get natural, candid shots without feeling like you are posing for a school photo.
