About Portrait & Portfolio Photography
Engineer with a Camera, Heart in the Frame
I see the world in lines and light, thanks to my engineering background, but when I pick up the camera, it's all about capturing stories and moments that have real jeeva (soul). My goal - every photo should feel alive.
What I Do
- Professional model portfolio photography, from high-fashion to simple, modern looks for your agency or personal brand
- Actor headshots and portfolios, especially for Sandalwood artists - I know how to bring out those character shifts for casting calls
- Candid pre-wedding portraits and couple shoots outdoors, full of natural, unscripted moments
My Style
I adjust my approach for every shoot. Studio lighting portrait session? I set up everything from crisp, bright looks to bold, moody setups with colored gels. Prefer the outdoors? I love using natural light for soft, fresh images.
- Your final set will have a mix: close-up headshots, expressive mid-shots, and full-body portraits
- Expect both vibrant color and classic black & white shots
More Than Just Photos
If you want a full portfolio look, I work with a solid team - makeup artists, stylists, designers. We handle the behind-the-scenes so you can focus on the camera.
Photography is more than just a job for me. Whether I'm capturing the energy of Karavali, Kambala, Yakshagana, or your story, I want every shot to have meaning and soul.

My Story
Engineer by profession, but honestly, my camera is where my heart sits. Born and raised in Bengaluru, Kundapura, Shivamogga – I’m full-on Karavali, boss! I love clicking Yakshagana drama, Kambala races, and anything that’s got energy and emotion. My albums have everything: travel, family, even our new car. I just want to capture life, as it happens – real, raw, nothing fake.
My Work
Photography for Events & Functions - We cover weddings, big parties, and all celebrations. Team Pradeep Photography is ready for anything.
Personal Shoots - I do actor/model portfolios, couple shoots, pre-wedding, and maternity portraits. Genuine moments, no drama.
Karavali Festival & Culture Shoots - If you want Yakshagana photography or Kambala race photos, I get the vibe. Culture means a lot to me.
My Way of Shooting - I let photos do the talking. Not much chatter, just chasing light, color, and emotion for that real shot.
