About Behind The Scenes
My BTS shoots are not about perfectly staged moments. I document the reality: the wind playing havoc with hair, the noise of a local train station, or finding quiet focus in a crowded market. These clips show the effort we put in to get that one frame where everything clicks, just so you know exactly what the energy feels like on set before we even start.
Photography is often sold as a polished, flawless experience. My approach is different. When you see these behind-the-scenes clips, you are seeing the reality of how I work with natural light and the environment to tell your story.
Whether we are shooting on a windy beach or weaving through the alleys of Delhi, I use my Sony Alpha 7 IV to capture the raw energy of the moment. I do not believe in rigid studio rules. The city is our playground, and my camera is just a tool to capture how you fit into it.
What you see in these BTS videos is the actual, unscripted process. We might be battling the sunset to get the perfect glow, or waiting for the right train to pass to get that cinematic street blur. It is collaborative, it is often chaotic, and it is always honest.
If you are a model looking for a portfolio that feels real, or just someone who wants their photos to show a bit more soul, this is how we get there. I guide you, but I leave room for the unplanned, candid moments that usually end up being the best ones. If you like this vibe, let’s talk about your next shoot.

I’m Anuj. I call myself a chhayachitrakar because I chose this life. I don't believe in rigid studio rules—I’d rather chase the light on a beach or find an interesting texture in a city alleyway to make your portraits real.
