About Portrait Photography
How I Approach Portraits
I don’t just take photos, I try to catch those small, honest moments that make you, you. Sometimes the vibe is soft and quiet, sometimes it’s loud like Baanadi mooduva kalarava (the chirping that rises in the sky). My camera tells your story, not just mine.
What I Offer
- Actor portfolio photography is my main thing. I work with lots of folks from the Kannada film world and beyond, making headshots and expressive portraits that highlight your range. I aim for shots that get you noticed, not just filed away.
- Fashion editorial portraits and themed shoots - we can go bold, moody, or clean. If you want something for a magazine, lookbook, or your own brand, I’ll help you create that vibe.
- Personal portraits for anyone who wants to freeze a moment. Classic or candid, it’s all about showing your real personality.
Studio, Light & Mood
- Most shoots happen in my studio, where I control light and background for artistic studio portraits. Shadows, drama, and bold contrasts are my jam.
- I love black and white portrait sessions because they’re just timeless. You’ll get both color and B&W options.
- If you want something outdoors, I’m always up for natural light outdoor portraits - chasing that golden hour glow, or that moment when Surya kannu hodeda (the sun winked).
Team & Finishing Touches
I handle the camera, editing, and retouching myself. If you want pro makeup, styling, or designer touches, I have a trusted crew who can join in to help nail every detail.

My Story
Hey, I'm Vikas. You might spot me as Frames by Vikas Kakolu, Captures by Vikas, or at my studio, Click Vik Studios. All same guy, just different moods. I’m hooked on drama in photos, especially those black and white shots – but sometimes, color just hits different. Studio is my playground, where I go wild with light. I get inspired by artists around me, always chasing that 'My Tigress' energy. Whether you want sunkissed or full-on royal, I’m after your real moment.
My Work
Photography Services - I shoot portfolios, weddings, pre-wedding, kids, and corporate events. If it’s a moment, I capture it.
Style & Approach - No fixed style. We do clean studio portraits, dramatic black and white photos, sunkissed outdoor photography, or traditional shots.
Collaboration - You bring your vibe, I bring the camera. Together, we’ll find what feels true to you.
My Studio - My studio in Bengaluru is set for creative studio portraits, experiments, and whatever wild idea pops up.
Local Bengaluru Touch - I love our culture, so expect a bit of Kannada and that Bengaluru mood in your photos.
