About Portfolio & Headshot Photography
Why I Do This
For me, a photo isn’t just a snap—it's my way of making art out of real moments. I love showing people in their best light, whether it’s a model’s new look or an entrepreneur’s personal brand. I like to keep it honest: sometimes shoots go off-plan, sometimes you get the perfect shot when you least expect it.
What I Offer
- Model Portfolios: I specialise in professional model portfolio shoots. I’ll help you build a diverse book with everything from Indian ethnic styles (lehenga, saree) to sharp western wear. Expect a mix of classic close-ups, full-lengths, and editorial style portraits that agencies actually look at.
- Actor Headshots: Your headshot is your intro. My actor headshot sessions go beyond the basics—we try different moods, lighting, and even black & white for a range that gets attention from casting folks.
- Personal Branding: If you’re an influencer or business owner, I’ll help you craft your image. We style your shoot to match the vibe you want, so your photos actually feel like “you.”
How I Work
- I shoot in studio (Kirti Nagar, Delhi) or on location—yahan wahan kahin bhi (here, there, anywhere), even outside Delhi, sometimes even Dubai.
- I work with makeup artists and stylists, but I’m happy to go minimal if that’s your thing.
- Every photo gets professional retouching for those high-end retouched images, but I keep it real. No plastic faces here.
Photos should tell your story. That’s what I care about most.

My Story
Hey, we’re Aperture 7 Studios. Photography isn’t just work for us – it’s what gets us up in the morning. Delhi is home but honestly, our studio is just the starting point. Dubai, Paris, wherever – if the vibe is right, we’re there with a camera. We believe you don’t just click a photo, you make it. Attitude matters. We like our shoots bold, a little timeless, always with a dash of drama.
My Work
Fashion & Portrait Photography - We shoot editorial fashion, luxury brand campaigns, catalogue, creative beauty photography, and glamorous portraits – in studio or anywhere you want.
Our Style - We don’t chase trends. We make images that are bold, elegant, and tell a story – decent yet fabulous.
Collaboration - Every great shot needs a crew. We work with stylists, makeup artists, and models to make magic happen.
Aperture 7 Studio - Our base in Kirti Nagar, Delhi is where the timeless studio photography magic starts.
