This Filmfare cover shoot with Manasi Parekh is a prime example of the powerful, direct portraits I create for editorial features. My focus was on a strong, confident expression and clean lighting to produce a striking cover image.

For this shoot with Ayushmann Khurrana, I used a single, hard light source against a bold red backdrop. This technique creates dramatic shadows and a high-contrast, cinematic feel, perfect for promotional and editorial work.

This is the digital cover I shot for GlobalSpa magazine featuring Jannat Zubair. The goal was to create an image that was both elegant and engaging, using the luxurious location to complement the high-fashion styling.

Capturing movement and energy is key in fashion photography. In this studio shot with Ishita Raj, I worked with flowing fabric and dramatic lighting to create a dynamic and visually arresting image.

This black and white portrait of Nushrratt Bharuccha showcases my approach to monochrome. By removing color, I can emphasize expression, form, and emotion, resulting in a timeless and impactful close-up.

About Celebrity & Portrait Photography

My Take on Portraits

I’m all about making images that stand out, whether it’s for a magazine cover or an actor’s portfolio. My work is mostly in fashion and beauty, but I also shoot for commercial projects. I want every portrait to feel like it belongs - sharp, honest, and with a vibe that matches the person.

What I Do

Celebrity & influencer shoots: I’ve worked with actors, influencers, and public figures for editorial magazine portraits, film promos, and red carpet events. If you need images for a campaign or a cover, I know how to get the shot.
Actor portfolio photography: I help build portfolios that show range. We’ll shoot in studio for dramatic looks or outdoors for something more natural. I like mixing moods, from clean headshots to moody black and white celebrity portraits.
Professional headshots: Always part of the session. I focus on clean lighting and real expressions, so your headshot actually feels like you.

How I Work

Shoots can be in studio, on location, or wherever fits the concept. I’m mostly in Mumbai and Jaipur, but I travel for projects. I’m big on lighting - sometimes I go for high-contrast lighting techniques, other times I keep it soft. I work with stylists, makeup artists, and agencies, and I always credit the team.

If you’ve got a vision, I’m up for it. Let’s make something that feels real.
