About Traditional & Festive Photography
Why I Do This
I’m obsessed with capturing real moments that tell a story. Every shoot is more than just a photo session - it’s a chance to make something special together. I get a kick out of seeing how traditional outfits and festive vibes turn into beautiful memories.
What I Shoot
- Diwali themed photoshoot: Love the festival feel! We’ll use diyas, marigold flowers, rangoli, and fairy lights to set the mood. Expect those warm, festive touches that make the pictures pop.
- Maharashtrian traditional portrait: I’m all about the classic Nauvari saree, Nath, and Pheta. Whether you’re in ethnic wear or something fusion, I know how to bring out the culture in every shot.
- Bridal studio session: Studio portraits that focus on every detail - outfit, jewelry, makeup, and hair. I work closely with makeup artists to get the look just right.
My Style
- Lighting: Moody and dramatic in studio, warm and ambient for festive, soft natural outdoors.
- Posing: I’ll guide you into graceful poses but also catch those natural, candid moments - like when you’re adjusting your bangles or sharing a laugh.
- Editing: Rich colors, warm tones, natural skin. I keep it vibrant but not over the top.
Where We Shoot
Studio in Mumbai with pro lighting and backdrops, or outdoor spots like parks if you want something natural. I team up with stylists and makeup artists to make the shoot fun and easy. Let’s make your festive moment stand out.

My Story
Hey, I’m Balkrushna—most folks call me Krrish. Photography for me? It’s pure love, yaar. I started Mumbai Portraits Studio to build a creative parivar (family), not just a business. My city is my muse—sometimes it’s glitzy, sometimes it’s all tradition, like Diwali ka dhamaka (Diwali blast). At heart, I’m just a guy chasing stories, camera in hand, finding beauty in people. That’s what drives me. ❤️
My Work
Photography Services - I shoot model portfolios, modern fashion shoots, creative festive photography, couple portraits, and concept product shoots.
Mumbai Portraits Studio - My studio’s got setups for everything—fashion, portraits, festivals. It’s our creative adda (hangout).
My Style - I go for real moments—bold, intimate, festive. Light and shadow are my jam.
Team Work - Every photo’s a team effort. My #mpfamily of makeup artists and stylists helps bring ideas to life.
