First decide the end-use: wall art, portfolio, or a collectible. For gallery-worthy prints, Nitin Rai offers limited editions that hold value. If you want a one-of-one object, Aditi crafts wet-plate ambrotype portraits on glass. For character-led portraits you can still frame, explore conceptual sessions then order signed prints. On myTribe, we shortlist by end-use, paper, size, and editioning—and even suggest framers around Sector 18.
Match mood and concept to photographer
Noida loves cinematic grit over glossy gloss. If you want shadow play and big feelings, Pradhumn is your guy. For raw urban narratives with clever locations, Pranshu Agrawal delivers. Prefer quiet, intimate black-and-white? Pritiza Barua keeps it honest and soulful. On myTribe, we translate your references into a moodboard, confirm lighting approach (low-key, monochrome, grain), and lock add-ons like stylists and MUA before you pay.
Plan logistics, permits, and budgets
Studios are plentiful: Greater Noida West’s Obviously, We Shoot and Greater Noida’s Captaphox Productions are solid controlled setups. Outdoors, Okhla Bird Sanctuary and village lanes give texture, but some spaces need permission; malls usually restrict pro cameras. Typical session fees range ₹3k–₹60k; limited-edition prints ₹7k–₹60k; wet-plate portraits ₹7k–₹20k. myTribe handles back‑and‑forth, slot availability, and small things like parking, power, and buffer hours.
Lock scope, timelines, and trust
Avoid surprises. We fix shot count, retouching style (colour grade, B&W, grain), deliverables (TIFFs, signed prints), and usage. For collectible work, we ask for edition numbers and a signed certificate. myTribe verifies portfolios, IDs, and studios; we document scope, manage revisions, and set milestone payments. Expect test frames on set and a written delivery timeline before you transfer the advance.
