## About Celebrity & Artist Portrait Photography

### How I See Portraits

For me, a portrait is way more than just a photo. It’s a bit like a dance - you, me, and the camera vibing together. I want to capture how you feel, who you are, not just how you look. If you’re tired of the usual cookie-cutter stuff, you’ll get what I mean.

### What We’ll Make

- I focus on the creative energy of artists, celebrities, and anyone who wants to show the real them.
- Clean headshots or high-end headshots for actors, musicians, and public figures - whether you want funky, intense, or classic, we’ll get the vibe right.
- If you’re after dramatic lighting portraits or a full editorial portrait shoot, I love building concepts that feel cinematic and a bit raw.
- Got a magazine feature images project? I’ve shot for publications, so I know how to match the mood and story you need.

### On Set: The Real Deal

- The shoot is a team effort - I bring stylists, makeup artists, and crew so you don’t have to stress about the details.
- I’m all about energy. We keep going till we get that shot - jo jeeta wohi sikandar (winner takes all).
- You get to express your art, your way. I just help set the stage.

### Tech Stuff

- I use top-notch gear (yep, medium format cameras for the geeks out there) so your images can go anywhere - big ads, digital, you name it.

[Shikhar Shukla](https://mytribe.in/shikharphotographer)

### My story

Been at this photography thing for 10+ years now. Sometimes I’m lost in Mumbai’s chaos, sometimes up in rainy mountains—always with my camera. I chase light, moments, even the weird stuff most folks walk past. Travel flips my view, keeps me sharp. I’m lucky, honestly, to catch these stories—city beats, wild colors, the little things nobody else sees.

### My work

- **What I Shoot**: Fashion, editorial, advertising, fine-art series, brand campaigns, and music videos. All my jam.
- **How I Work**: It’s a dance—sometimes I direct, sometimes I let folks do their thing. Real moments, real soul.
- **My Style**: Love a monochromatic moment, or a riot of hues. Always breaking rules, never boring.
- **Light & Mood**: Chill process. I wait for the right light, set the mood, and let intention lead. Cinematic sunbeam or street raw.
- **Team Magic**: Big shoots? My crew’s got stylists, makeup, producers—BTS besties. We make it all happen together.
