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. ## Meet your expert [Kiran Venkataramanappa](https://mytribe.in/kiran.venkataramanappa) ### 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. ## More services from Kiran Venkataramanappa - [Travel & Documentary Photography](https://mytribe.in/kiran.venkataramanappa/travel-documentary-photography) · ₹10-35K per day (estimate) - [Videography & Cinematography](https://mytribe.in/kiran.venkataramanappa/videography-cinematography) · ₹7-30K per reel/video (up to 60 seconds) (estimate) - [Fashion & Commercial Photography](https://mytribe.in/kiran.venkataramanappa/fashion-commercial-photography) · ₹15-60K per day (estimate) ## Experts similar to Kiran Venkataramanappa on mytribe - [Fashion & Portfolio Photography by Rainbow Photography by Kiran](https://mytribe.in/rainbow_photography_official/fashion-portfolio-photography) · ₹12-35K per shoot (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Portrait & Fashion Photography by TK Wedding Stories](https://mytribe.in/thrissurkaranphotography/portrait-fashion-photography) · ₹3-35K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Portrait & Portfolio Photography by Ebins Photogrid](https://mytribe.in/ebins_portraits_photogrid/portrait-portfolio-photography) · ₹4-25K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Fashion & Portfolio Photography by Krish](https://mytribe.in/krisarchive/fashion-portfolio-photography) · ₹9-30K per shoot/session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Fashion & Lifestyle Photography by Vasuki Prabandam](https://mytribe.in/vasuki.prabandam/fashion-lifestyle-photography) · ₹5-25K per session (estimate) · Mysuru - [Portrait Photography by Dark Pixel Room](https://mytribe.in/darkpixelroom/portrait-photography) · ₹4-15K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Portrait Photography by Bharath G](https://mytribe.in/bharathg/portrait-photography) · ₹4-10K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Portrait & Fashion Photography by Kairos](https://mytribe.in/kairosbysajith/portrait-fashion-photography) · ₹6-30K per session (estimate) · Kairos Portrait / Events / Weddings / Fashion Photography Studio - [Portrait & Portfolio Photography by Pradeep Photography](https://mytribe.in/pradeepmachar/portrait-portfolio-photography) · ₹4-25K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Fashion & Creative Portrait Photography by Chidu](https://mytribe.in/chidu.ln_portraits/fashion-creative-portrait-photography) · ₹5-25K per session (estimate) · Chidu Ln Studio - [Fashion & Portrait Photography by Portraitsbysham](https://mytribe.in/sham_photography._/fashion-portrait-photography) · ₹6-18K per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Fashion & Portrait Photography by Weddings by BR](https://mytribe.in/weddings_by_br/fashion-portrait-photography) · ₹12-35K per session (estimate) · B R Wedding Filmer ## Book To book Kiran Venkataramanappa, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Portrait%20Photography%20by%20Kiran%20Venkataramanappa.)
