About Portrait & Headshot Photography
Real Moments, Real People
I’m Gaurav Sawn, and I’ve been chasing genuine moments with my camera for over 15 years. For me, portrait & headshot photography isn’t about filters or fancy effects - it’s about honest memories you actually want to look back on. CGI and AI can’t catch that warm smile or the way sunlight hits your face, na? Only real photos do that.
What You Can Expect
- Actor portfolio photoshoot: Whether you’re updating your look or starting out, I’ll help you build a versatile set with multiple moods and styles. My crew includes stylists, makeup artists, and assistants for pro results.
- Corporate headshot session: Magazine covers, LinkedIn, campaigns - I shoot clean, simple images that work for all your professional needs.
- Personal and artistic portraits: Family, maternity, or just ‘because’. I love working with natural light and often deliver minimal retouching portraits, even in black and white, for that timeless feel. Sometimes, I skip Photoshop altogether - asli (real) pictures hit different.
My Process
- I adapt my style to fit your vibe - studio setup or chasing that golden hour outside, whatever works best.
- For commercial jobs, I team up with top retouchers. For personal shoots, edits are super light.
- High-end gear for the sharpest shots, but I also love candid moments with smaller cameras.
How It Works
Every shoot is a collaboration. Big portfolio? I’ll bring the full team. Want something more intimate? We keep it quiet and simple. My only aim is to make sure your photos feel like you.

My Story
Been behind the lens for 15+ years, still feels unreal some days. I chase adventure, even squeezed in a crazy bikepacking trip between diaper duty and deadlines. New dad, new life - my wife and I call our little boy our biggest project yet. Bath time with him? Best part of my day. Oh, and vegan for the animals, always. Life’s messy, I’m just rolling with it and trusting the process.
My Work
What I Shoot - I do freelance photography - celebrity magazine cover shoots, high-end automotive campaigns, fashion and lifestyle brand stuff.
My Style - Minimalist commercial photography, simple and clean visuals. Big sets or just natural light, depends on the vibe.
Real Moments Matter - I’m all about authentic lifestyle product photography, not AI-generated stuff. Real connects, fake doesn’t.
Handling Pressure - Nearly 20 years in, I know how to keep cool - big crews, tight time, whatever you throw at me.
