About Product & Still Life Photography
My Approach
Photography keeps me on my toes, always learning something new. I love the messy, creative side of telling a product’s story through light, texture, and angles. It’s never just snapping a photo - it’s figuring out what makes your product special and showing that off. Sometimes things go sideways, but that’s half the fun. The best results always come from working together.
What I Shoot
I cover a bunch of things:
- Cosmetics, with close-ups that show off textures and bold colors. Melting lipstick, shiny bottles - I’m into all of it.
- Beverage bottle photography, whether it’s whisky or soda, including splash shots and pours with real movement.
- Packaged goods, snacks, and lifestyle stuff like mugs or notebooks. I’m all about clean composition product shots - making things pop without clutter.
- Fine jewelry, using soft studio lighting techniques to catch the sparkle and keep things elegant.
How I Work
Most of my shoots happen in Mumbai and Pune studios so I can control the light and get the best out of every product. I’ve worked on big commercial product photography projects, sometimes with a whole team. From brainstorming to the last edit, I’m hands-on and always experimenting - think dripping honey, bold shadows, or that perfect texture-focused image. Collaboration is key for me, and I like keeping things real, even if it gets a bit chaotic.

My Story
Hey, I’m Sakina. Honestly, I’m still learning every day – photography keeps me on my toes! If I’m not shooting for clients, I’m at home messing around with bottles, fruit, or makeup textures, just trying new lighting tricks. Sometimes it gets super messy, but that’s half the fun. I love sharing what I pick up, so my 'Photography 101' series is my way to give back. Always chasing that tiny detail, always pushing what I can do.
