About Portrait Photography
What I Do
I shoot portraits that feel honest and impactful. Whether you’re updating your actor headshots in Bangalore or just want a vibe-y personal portrait, I’m all about catching you as you are. I’m Kiran, a photographer and retoucher based here in Bengaluru, but if you’ve got a cool project elsewhere, I’m usually game to travel.
Types of Portraits
- Actor & Model Portfolios: Headshots, editorial, brand campaign shots - whatever helps you get noticed.
- Personal & Lifestyle: Chill terrace sessions, sunlight, or something moody. Totally depends on your personality.
- Bridal & Traditional: Love shooting traditional Indian bridal portraits - the details, the elegance, all of it.
- Creative & Fine Art: Drama, high contrast, black and white, even underwater if you’re up for it.
My Process
I don’t just click and hand off the files. Every image is retouched by me using Photoshop and Lightroom, keeping it polished but not fake. I usually rope in stylists, makeup, hair, whatever’s needed for the shoot. We can shoot at a studio, outdoors, or anywhere you feel comfortable.
My Style
I’m flexible: from simple and elegant to bold and dramatic. I’m a sucker for natural light portraits, but I know my way around studio lights too. I like a bit of punch in my photos, nothing flat or boring.
If you want photos that actually feel like you, let’s make it happen.

My Story
Hey, I’m Kiran from Bengaluru. I shoot portraits and fashion, but honestly, I’m always chasing that raw, real moment, like the vibe I felt at Maha Kumbh in Varanasi. I’m not big on spirituality, but the energy there was wild, unforgettable. That’s what I want in my photos – something that feels true, not just pretty. Every frame, I’m hunting for the real story.
My Work
Portraits, Fashion & Commercial Photography - I shoot portraits, fashion, and commercial projects. I also do videography and direct shoots.
Authentic Style - Not into perfect poses. I look for genuine vibes and real stories in every shot.
Bengaluru Sessions - Most of my work happens in Bengaluru, but I’m open to travel for the right project.
Collaborative Shoots - Love working with stylists, makeup folks, and models. Got an idea? Let’s chat and make it happen.
