[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/shreyansdungarwal/jewellery-accessory-photography/gallery) These frames are where I strip away the noise. Just light, shadow, and the raw emotion of the moment. My personal projects are about capturing the person behind the pose. ## Photos and videos - ![From my personal series 'Rafta', this black and white portrait captures a quiet, contemplative moment. The soft, natural light highlights the model's profile and the traditional jhumka earring, creating a timeless and soulful image.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8319354d-bd24-46a3-913a-feee577ab3b0) - ![A diptych from the 'Rafta' series, showing the beauty in candid, in-between moments.

It’s just me, the camera, and the subject finding the rhythm. You see those deep shadows in the gallery? That’s not post-production magic. That’s chasing the light until the frame feels quiet, honest, and completely real. Why do I shoot personal projects? Because commercial work often demands perfection, but personal work demands truth. When I am shooting a black and white portrait, I am looking for the things that usually get lost in a full-scale advertising setup: the tiny gesture of a hand, the way a model fixes their hair, or how they move when they think no one is watching. ### The Technique Behind the Mood My obsession with light doesn't stop when I leave the studio. I apply the same technical discipline to these personal projects as I do to high-end jewellery campaigns. Whether it is using the natural catchlight on a Mumbai street or sculpting a face with harsh, directional window light, the goal remains the same: create a frame that stops you in your tracks. ### Why This Matters for Your Project When you hire me for your brand or portrait session, you are not just getting someone to click a button. You are hiring someone who trains his eye every single day. The same sensibility that goes into these artistic, moody explorations is what I bring to your shoot. - **No distractions:** I use monochrome and high-contrast lighting to remove the clutter, forcing the eye to focus on texture and emotion. - **Directing with instinct:** I don't give generic instructions. I talk to you, guide you, and find your rhythm so the photo feels like you, not a mannequin. - **Visual storytelling:** Even in a single image, I am looking for the start, middle, and end of a narrative. If you are looking for an image that tells a story rather than just showing a product, let’s talk. I don't do boring, and I definitely don't do cookie-cutter. ## About Shreyans Dungarwal I’m Shreyans. I don’t believe in over-planning the soul out of a photograph. When I’m not running commercial campaigns, I’m out in Mumbai finding frames that actually feel like something.
