What I do is all about real, hands-on image making. My work skips the whole digital vibe - I go straight for old-school, historical photography. Every piece I create is meant to be held, shown off, and lived with, not just scrolled past. ### Wet Plate Collodion Portraits This one's my jam - I use a 19th-century process, where I make ambrotype photography on glass. You get a single, physical piece, not a file. No two plates ever look the same, so if you want something that nobody else has, this is it. Expect monochrome tones and that classic look which digital just can’t touch. The plate always comes with little marks and quirks - I call them perfect imperfections. They’re not mistakes, they're the soul of the image. ### Shooting on Film For folks who want some extra texture and depth, I shoot on film too. Think rich tonality, natural film grain texture, and an overall vibe that’s way more atmospheric. Works well for fashion, lookbooks, or if you just want portraits that feel timeless. ### How I Work I’m all about teamwork. I usually collaborate with stylists, makeup artists, and creative teams to get your vision just right. I move between UK and India, but I’m good to go wherever the project calls, so just hit me up if you want handcrafted photographic art that’s actually unique. ## Highlights Browse through Aditi's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/ms_selfportrait/analogue-historical-process-photography/featured) - ![A portrait of Mashal, created using the 19th-century wet plate collodion process.

I kinda live in two worlds - UK and India, so my camera’s always seeing things from both sides. I did a master’s in fashion photography, got obsessed with old-school stuff like wet plate collodion, but I love digital too. Some days I’m backstage at London Fashion Week, some days shooting a lookbook in Delhi. My thing? Making images that stick in your mind, no matter where you are. ### My work - **Fashion, Editorial & Campaign Shoots**: I shoot fashion, campaign, lookbook, editorial and conceptual portraits - clean, artistic, sometimes moody. - **Artistic & Moody Imagery**: Light, form, and the mood matter most to me. I want every image to feel timeless, not just pretty. - **Collaborative Teamwork**: I work close with models, stylists, makeup artists - photography’s a team game for me. - **UK & India, Available Worldwide**: I split time between UK and India, so I bring a global eye and can travel for shoots anywhere. ## More services from Aditi - [Editorial & Portrait Photography](https://mytribe.in/ms_selfportrait/editorial-portrait-photography) · ₹8-80K per shoot/session (estimate) - [Fashion & Commercial Photography](https://mytribe.in/ms_selfportrait/fashion-commercial-photography) · ₹20-70K per shoot (estimate) ## Book To book Aditi, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Analogue%20%26%20Historical%20Process%20Photography%20by%20Aditi.)
