This is the kind of artistic studio portrait I love to create. Using a single, sharp slash of light, we crafted a shot that is all about mood, form, and intensity, perfect for an actor's portfolio that needs to make a statement.
We went outdoors to capture this shot, using the soft, natural light of the woods to complement the vibrant red saree. This is an example of an environmental portrait where the subject and the setting tell a story together.
A powerful close-up where the focus is entirely on the expression. The traditional silver jewelry adds a layer of character, but the direct gaze is what holds the attention, making it an ideal headshot for an actor.
Black and white photography strips away everything but the essential. Here, I used a focused spotlight to play with shadow and light, creating a mysterious and captivating portrait that feels timeless.
It was a pleasure to capture the portrait of world-class badminton player Saina Nehwal. This shot shows a relaxed yet confident side, perfect for personal branding or editorial features.
This portrait is all about creating a royal and elegant mood. The rich fabrics, classic jewelry, and the painterly backdrop come together to form a timeless image that feels like a classic work of art.
A clean, minimalist portrait that feels fresh and modern. Using soft, bright light against a simple white background, we captured a relaxed and natural moment that highlights genuine personality.
I often experiment with in-camera effects to add a unique artistic layer. Here, a prism creates beautiful light flares, adding a touch of magic and glamour to this sequined fashion portrait.

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.
