Each portrait is a quiet, honest moment of connection and the foundation of how I see my subjects today. ## Photos and videos - ![27. Raghav. This is a photo-series called ‘Doorways’.

The Doorways Project taught me that photography is not about the camera or the lighting; it is about creating a space where you feel safe enough to drop your guard. When you book a portrait session with me, you are not just getting a set of photos. You are getting the same level of care, the same ice-breaking conversation, and the same intent to find the 'real' you that I brought to every single one of these 27 stories. This series defined my style. I spent years in Delhi, building a life from scratch, and these 27 people were my guides. I chose to shoot them in doorways because a doorway is a threshold—a point of entry into a new state of being. I wanted to capture that transition, that fleeting moment where someone lets you in. My approach to portrait photography remains unchanged from that time. I do not believe in rigid posing or 'factory' shoots. Whether we are doing a signature black and white session or an editorial portfolio shoot, the process is the same: 1. **The Ice Breaker:** Every booking starts with a 45-minute chat. We need to talk, align on the mood, and build trust before a single shutter clicks. 2. **The Space:** I work primarily with natural light in Delhi, focusing on quiet, intimate settings like Lodhi Colony or your own home, where you feel most grounded. 3. **The Light:** I love high-contrast black and white because it strips away the noise and leaves only the subject. It creates a timeless, raw image that feels honest. If you are looking for a photographer who values the 'why' behind the portrait, let’s talk. I am always open to capturing your authentic self, your pets, or your personal evolution. ## About Pritiza Barua I moved to Delhi twelve years ago, and these portraits were how I learned to call this city home. My work is just a conversation, honestly. I want to photograph you exactly as you are, with nothing hidden.
