Take a look at the range of stories I have had the privilege to tell. ## Photos and videos - ![This is the kind of timeless bridal portrait I love creating. The focus is on the bride's expression, framed by the delicate details of her dupatta, with soft lighting that creates a classic, painterly feel. This is a moment of quiet confidence before the celebrations begin.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1a5c5653-9ebc-47ce-89a5-3b8a9661cfd0) - ![Capturing the grace of movement is a passion of mine.

I keep the setup low-stress and use natural light whenever possible because I know you look your best when you are comfortable. If you are worried about posing, do not be—I will guide you through movements that feel natural, not forced, so we get shots that actually look like you. ### A Versatile Approach to Photography I believe that every shoot requires a different energy. My portfolio reflects this range—I am just as comfortable capturing the intricate details of a Paithani saree during a festival as I am directing a moody, high-fashion portrait session in my Mulund studio. **What you can expect from our session:** * **Collaborative Planning:** Before we start, we will discuss your vision. Whether you have a specific mood board for a portfolio shoot or need help styling traditional attire, I am involved in the process to ensure we are aligned. * **Natural and Studio Work:** I leverage the portability of the Canon R6 Mark II to bring professional quality to outdoor locations, or we can use controlled lighting in a studio setting to create dramatic, editorial-style shadows. * **Comfort-First Environment:** I work with a women-led team to ensure that my clients, especially women, feel safe and relaxed. This comfort directly translates to better photos—it is hard to fake a genuine smile, so I make sure the environment is one where you feel confident enough to be yourself. * **Cultural Sensitivity:** From Gudi Padwa celebrations to naming ceremonies, I understand the nuances of the rituals I am documenting. I focus on capturing the small details that matter—the gajra, the jewellery, the lighting of the diya—rather than just the wide shots. Whether you need a quick headshot update or a full-day campaign shoot, my goal is to give you images that feel authentic to your personality and style. ## About Mayuri Surve Hi, I am Mayuri. I believe every photo should feel like a memory you want to hold onto, not just an image on a screen.
