About Fashion & Portrait Photography
My Philosophy
I’m all about creating images that feel alive - not just posed photos. Whether you need shots for your portfolio or want something that shows off your personality, I try to keep things real and bring out the vibe that makes you, well, you.
How I Shoot
I lean towards a modern and confident style, but I’m not afraid to push the boundaries and experiment. Playing with creative studio lighting is my jam - sometimes it’s all clean and simple, other times I go bold with colors and shadows to create a mood. I want each image to feel polished but still true to who you are.
What I Offer
- Professional model headshots for actors, models, or anyone building a portfolio. We’ll try out different looks so you’ve got range, from classic industry shots to more expressive, emotive portraits.
- Editorial fashion photography and beauty shoots for brands or individuals. These are more collaborative, involving stylists and makeup artists, so the final image looks ready for a magazine spread.
- For those wanting something different, I love working on personal and artistic portraits. If you’ve got a wild idea, let’s break the rules and make it happen.
The Process
Shoots happen in my Mumbai studio, where I use Nikon gear and pro lighting for top quality. I keep things collaborative - we’ll chat about concepts and moods before we start. Every final image gets professional beauty portrait retouching, so you walk away with something that pops.

My Story
‘Be young, be dope, run the show’ – that’s me, Sanket. I chase moments, not just pictures. It could be flamingos lost in their dance, kids splashing in a village pond, or Mumbai’s cats on the hunt. Sometimes I’m deep in studio lights, other times it’s just me and my phone, wandering and experimenting. For me, every shot is a memory in the making. I’m always after that feeling, that little bit of magic.
My Work
Photography for Every Story - I shoot portraits, commercial campaigns, wildlife, nature, street and raw travel photography.
In-Camera Creative Photography - I like building visuals right in camera - comic-book style product shoots, no heavy editing.
Portraits that Pop - I experiment with light and technique to show real character, from minimal celebrity portraits to natural street vibes.
The World is my Studio - I use everything - Nikon, Godox, iPhone - wherever the moment takes me, city or coast.
