About Fashion & Creative Portrait Photography
My Approach
Photos aren’t just about faces and smiles for me. When you step into my studio, it’s about capturing your vibe, your quirks - the real you. My camera is my kanmani (my beloved lens), and I see each session as a chance to help you tell your story. Trust is everything here. If you’re nervous or awkward, that’s okay. I want you to feel seen, not just photographed.
What We Can Create
- Want to build a killer creative model portfolio photoshoot? Let’s get images that actually show off your personality and range, not just random poses.
- Dreaming up something wild? Maybe a desi folk-inspired theme or a painted hands look? Just tell me your idea. I love concept-driven fashion imagery that’s a little hatke (different).
- Into editorial style portrait sessions? We can make shots that look straight out of a fashion mag - streetwear, glam, or something totally offbeat.
- Need beauty shots? I’ll make sure your skin glows and your features pop, with retouching that still looks like you.
Studio & Collaboration
My studio in Bengaluru is where we get creative – loads of backdrops, props, and pro lighting. You’ll usually find me working with a solid crew of stylists and makeup artists. We’re all about that team effort; you get the full package, not just a photographer.
Bonus: Short cinematic reels and BTS clips available, perfect for social media.

My Story
Hey, I'm Chidu. My camera? That's my Kanmani (beloved eye). Bengaluru is home, my studio is where I play. For me, photography isn't just clicking - it's making moments real, weaving feelings into frames. I love teaming up with makeup artists and models, always chasing that fresh angle for every shoot. If you want someone who gets your vibe and brings it alive, I'm your guy.

Cinematic Portrait Photography - I focus on creative lighting and cinematic style. Every portrait is about your vibe, not just a pose.
