About Fine Art & Conceptual Portraits
What I Do
I make portraits that look and feel like art. For me, every picture is a story - not just a photo. You’ll see fairytale scenes, old-school Indian vibes, and dreamy atmospheres, all rolled into one session. I want you to have a memory so beautiful, you’ll want to hang it on your wall.
Signature Styles
- Love the classic look? My Raja Ravi Varma style photography is all about rich colours, sarees, old brass props, and dramatic light. Perfect for those regal maternity moments or anyone who wants that royal touch.
- If you’re into magic, my ethereal portrait session creates whimsical storytelling portraits, whether we shoot in a forest or build a ‘secret garden’ vibe in the studio. I add digital magic - fireflies, butterflies, soft haze - to make it feel straight out of a fairytale.
- For little ones, I do Little Krishna baby shoots with all the works - peacock feathers, flutes, butter pots, and a divine setup that’s pure desi heart.
How I Work
Every portrait is planned - from outfits to props, setting to mood. Shoots happen in my Mulund West studio or out in nature. I spend hours editing, retouching, and transforming each image so it feels like a painting or a scene from a dream.
What It’s Like
My sessions are chill, personal, and I won’t make you pose stiffly. Just be yourself. I’ll help capture the moments that matter, no overacting needed. You get art that’s real and magical, both.

My Story
Hey, I’m Payal. I chase sunlight, not studio lights. My camera and I, happiest in a forest, or with the rain making everything smell fresh. I always tell moms, 'don’t pose, just be.' Aaj kal sabko studio photo chahiye, but I love messy, muddy shoes and laughs that aren’t planned. Horses, kids, monsoon mornings—yeh sab mere frames mein aate hain. Real, imperfect, nature-blessed—that’s what I want to remember.
My Work
Outdoor & Natural Light Photography - I shoot maternity, newborns, kids, families, pets, horses—always outdoors or with natural light at home.
Fine-Art & Themed Sessions - Love doing fine-art conceptual kids shoot, and Krishna-inspired baby sessions for that dreamy, magical vibe.
Nature is My Studio - No fake backdrops. Forests, fields, your backyard—real places, real moments, real mud sometimes!
Perfect for Nature-Lovers - If you’re okay with a little mess for a photo with soul, and love unscripted moments, I’m your person.
