Being a one-man army means I am the photographer, videographer, and creative director for your shoot. Here is a glimpse into how I handle it all, from the first frame to the final cut.

## Photos and videos

It’s a real look at the life of a solo photographer who handles everything from directing to capturing those BTS clips.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/50da22fa-2a60-4f78-a628-a7b7344b64d4)

## About The Man Behind the Lens

I carry my Sony a7iv with Sigma lenses for both your main portraits and the BTS clips simultaneously. This way, you do not need a separate camera crew hovering around, allowing you to stay in your flow while I handle the angles, lighting, and those candid moments as they happen.

Being a one-man army is how I ensure your shoot stays intimate. When you hire a huge team, the vibe can feel forced, like a stiff production set rather than a creative session. I focus on the 'safar'—the journey of the shoot—because that is where the real magic lives.

Whether we are shooting in the chaos of a Mumbai market or the quiet of a home studio, my process remains the same. I use the 'jugaad' (creative workarounds) that come with being a solo photographer to find unique perspectives. I am not just capturing the final photo; I am documenting the struggle with the light, the quick technical adjustments, and the candid laughter between takes.

Since I handle both the main shoot and the BTS footage, you get a cohesive story. You do not have to worry about a videographer interfering with the photographer's work, because there is no interference. It is just us. I handle all the editing in Premiere afterward to make sure the transitions between the 'reality' of the shoot and the 'result' of the final photos feel seamless. If you are looking for a photographer who values the process as much as the final frame, let's talk.
