Ever wonder how a concept becomes a campaign? Get a look at the collaborative process at Aperture 7 Studios, where we build bold imagery from the ground up.

This is a fast-paced look at a typical day shooting fashion campaigns in my Delhi studio. You can see me directing, the models in motion, and the collaborative energy that goes into every project.

A compilation of some of my favorite shots with actress Prachi Tehlan. This reel shows my versatility, moving from classic black and white portraits to more energetic and playful shots, all within a single session.

This composite image gives a peek into my creative process, combining a detail shot of a gown's floral embroidery with a beauty close-up. It shows how I think about connecting the fashion details with the overall mood.

About this collection

When we shoot at our Kirti Nagar studio, you are not just a spectator. We use real-time tethered viewing on studio monitors, so you see exactly how the light hits and the pose lands the moment the shutter clicks. This collaborative feedback loop is how we ensure every frame is sharp, moody, and fits the campaign vision perfectly before we move to the next setup.

Great fashion photography is not luck. It is a series of deliberate choices made by a team that knows how to execute. At Aperture 7, our process starts long before the camera comes out. We begin with a mood board collaboration to align on the lighting direction and the visual narrative.

The Studio Environment

Our Kirti Nagar base is designed for total control. We use Canon full-frame bodies paired with 100mm macro lenses to capture texture detail that defines high-end beauty shots. Lighting is where we define the mood. Whether it is a specialized butterfly lighting setup for beauty portraits or harsh, dramatic lighting to catch the sparkle in jewelry, we manipulate the environment to suit the subject.

The Creative Crew

We do not work in isolation. A successful campaign requires a synergy between the photographer, the model, the stylist, and the makeup artist. On set, our role is to direct the energy. We coordinate with our professional MUAs to ensure every detail of the makeup and hair serves the frame, and we guide our models to create poses that highlight the flow of the garments or the intricacies of the accessories.

Post-Production Standards

We believe the work is only half done when the shoot wraps. Our post-production workflow includes professional frequency separation and color grading, ensuring the final deliverable matches the high-energy editorial standards you expect. We do not just process images. We refine them.
