This is where I play with shadows, light, and silence to create portraits that feel a bit different. ## Photos and videos - ![I love playing with light. For this bridal portrait of Kinjal, I used a sliver of morning sunlight coming through a window to create this dramatic, high contrast black and white image. It’s simple, powerful, and all about her serene expression.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/db7892a5-436d-48e7-b060-6f3d50381e2a) - ![Vampires are real. Or at least, we can pretend. This was a spontaneous idea using a single light source near the pool. Amrutha and Ashwin's huge laugh after the "scary" pose is what makes this shot gold.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/48e7cc2a-fd93-49aa-a5bd-ee53371aa796) - ![Another artistic take on a bridal portrait. I used the large leaf shadow to create a minimal and modern composition, with the stunning bride, Srushti, as the beautiful focal point.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e1417454-1559-41b9-bfa3-71e1cf68fcb3) - ![A slightly different take on the dramatic light portrait. This black and white photo of Kinjal has a quiet, introspective feel, highlighting the beautiful details of her bridal jewelry.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b6c5d31d-e1b9-49ef-8a93-28f0944292a1) - ![A silhouette of the bride, Amrutha, getting her makeup done. This black and white shot focuses on the form and the action, creating an artistic and timeless image of the getting ready process.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3ffb8d31-dc25-43cc-b28f-bace3c13e834) - ![The "vampire" pose. Before the laughter, Ashwin got into character, and we created this fun, dramatic black and white portrait. I love it when couples are up for trying something different.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bcb3c706-0bfa-44e5-8c3e-825421f16958) ## About Artistic Eye: Creative & Monochrome Shots It really helps if you are ready a few minutes early. Most of my artistic shots, like the ones with moody window light or sharp silhouettes, happen when we have a little breathing room. If you want these dramatic portraits, just let me know, and we will carve out 15 minutes during the chaos to get them right. ### It is about the light, not the pose I treat my camera as a tool to find art in the middle of a wedding. While most of the day is about documenting raw emotions and candid laughter, this collection is where I slow down. I look for shadows, reflections, and that sliver of sunlight hitting a doorway. ### Why monochrome? Color is great, but black and white photography strips away the noise. It forces you to look at the texture of your saree, the look in your eyes, or the architecture of the venue. It makes a moment feel timeless. When I shoot in monochrome, I am usually looking for a specific mood—something introspective or powerful that color might distract from. ### Getting the best creative shots You do not need to be a model to get these photos. In fact, the best ones are usually when you are just resting, waiting for the makeup artist, or sharing a quiet second with your partner before the baraat starts. If you see a style here you like, tell me. We can plan a quick 10-minute session during your wedding day. We do not need a studio setup. A hotel corridor, a balcony, or even just a plain wall can become a canvas if the light is right. Let’s skip the fake smiles and find something that actually feels like you. ## About Girish Joshi I'm Girish. I don't really do the whole 'smile and pose' routine. I'd rather spend the time finding a sliver of light or a quiet corner where I can capture you in a way that feels more like art and less like a standard wedding photo.
