We keep it completely natural, relying on the environment to bring out the vibe, so expect a relaxed, collaborative session that feels more like a casual hangout than a forced pose. When we head to the beach, I do not believe in forcing poses. My approach is simple: I look for the light and the mood. We might start with the soft, warm tones of the golden hour, that perfect time when everything just looks right. But I also love bringing in the contrast. If we are near a jetty or a pier with weathered metal, we use those harsh lines and deep shadows to make your portraits pop. It gives you that mix of softness and grit that stands out in a feed. We will be shooting on my Sony Alpha 7 IV. It is a workhorse for natural light, and it lets me focus on the candid stuff, the way the wind moves your hair or how you naturally interact with the space. If you are planning an outfit, think textures. Linen, sarees, or even something a bit structured works beautifully against the vastness of the sand and sea. It is a 2-hour investment of time, but it is really about finding that rhythm. No studio lights, no heavy equipment setups. Just you, the elements, and me trying to catch that perfect frame. And yes, selecting the best shots is always a bit of a challenge for me because I get attached to every moment, but I promise the final set will feel like you. ## About Anuj Saraogi I am Anuj, a chhayachitrakar based here in Mumbai.
