About Product Photography
My Approach
मैं हूँ साक्षी (I am Sakshi) and for me, product photography is more about technique and vision than fancy gear. I’m all about using जुगाड़ (clever hacks) and simple setups to tell your brand’s story. Sometimes, the best shot comes from just a bit of jugaad and a whole lot of patience.
What I Offer
- E-commerce product images for online stores using natural light, basic props, and even DIY reflectors or acrylic sheets for that premium look.
- Creative product shoots, like floating products or action shots - think splashes, spills, or dramatic motion. Want a Diwali vibe or Holi colours in the shot? We can make it happen.
- Macro detail photography for jewelry and cosmetics, capturing all the tiny, luxe details and textures that make your product stand out.
How We Roll
We’ll chat about your vibe - clean, crisp, or full-on creative. I’ll show you behind-the-scenes tricks, from custom paper cutouts to laptop screens for bold backgrounds. Honestly, half the fun is figuring it out together. Patience pro max चाहिए (maximum patience required), but it’s worth it.
Beyond Still Photos
I also create stop-motion product animation, fun GIFs, and reels for social media, so your products get noticed in every format.

My Story
Hey, Sakshi here. Mumbai girl, product and food photographer. यहीं से शुरू किया था (started right here) - small table, big sapna (dream). Location? Doesn't matter. Vision does. Did a crazy '30 Days 30 Products' challenge, failed, learned, got better. Studio's mostly a mess, but I love it. Life’s about small wins, travelling, new experiences. बस rukna nahi hai - chalte rehna hai (don’t stop, just keep moving).
My Work
What I Do - Product photography, food shots, creative direction, stop motion videos - from minimal e-commerce shots to vibrant food images.
How I Work - No fancy gear, just jugaad (hacks), patience, and DIY photography hacks. Messy process, clean output.
Who I Click For - I vibe best with business owners who love their products. My photos build trust and spark desire.
