About Photography & Creative Direction
My Approach: More Than Just Snapping Pics
I see photography as a way to freeze energy, not just trends. If you think photos should have a vibe, not just look pretty, we’ll probably get along. My style mixes elegance with a bit of khanabadosh (nomadic) spirit - I want each image to tell a story, not just sit pretty.
How I Work: Idea to Image
You get the full creative ride with me.
- We’ll dig deep into the 'why' behind every shoot, whether it’s a fashion shoot creative direction or capturing your brand’s identity.
- I plan everything - team, models, makeup, styling, all the production bits.
- On set, I guide the poses and mood so we hit the exact vibe we imagined.
Your Brand, My Lens
Running a small business myself means I get what it takes to make expressive product visuals or clean editorial brand photography.
- Brand & e-commerce shoots for everything from athleisure to ethnic wear.
- Lifestyle shots - think golden hour portraits or moody, real moments.
What I Love Shooting
- Fashion and editorial
- Detailed jewelry
- Expressive portraits
- Conceptual stuff, including self-portraits
Editing: The Real Magic
Post-production is where it all comes together. I handle my own edits, from color correction to skin touch-ups. Sometimes I show before-and-afters because the difference is wild.
The Real Talk
Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai doston (to gain something, you have to lose something, friends). A shoot takes effort, but these captured moments don’t last forever. That’s why I’m here - to help you make something worth remembering.

My Story
Okay, so I’m Manisha. I turned 36 and just wanna freeze how I look and feel right now. It’s not about the body, it’s the energy, yaar. I figured late in life - control your tongue, eat good, speak good, and have fun. My friends are all 18-22, so I keep up with trends (sometimes I’m lost, haha). I’m a bit ‘khanabadosh’ (nomadic), one day Dubai for a Habibi Hair Cut, next day Mumbai, saree flying, Bollywood feels. Everything is temporary - so I’m always documenting ordinary moments. They become epic memories.
My Work
Photography, Cinematography & Creative Direction - I shoot photos, videos, and direct creative stuff. I also do content creation and social media management.
Energy Switching & Fun Shoots - On set, I switch from serious to goofy real quick. We go as models, come back as memes. Always vibing.
Elegant Meets Khanabadosh Style - My style blends traditional Indian with modern chic. I love shooting both looks, especially khanabadosh style photos.
Documenting Real Moments - I capture candid vibe photography - it's all about the energy and making memories out of everyday life.
