If you want a clear likeness, please share high-resolution, front-facing photos at least a few days before your booking. This gives me the necessary time to sketch the layout on paper first, ensuring the final result on your palm captures the features accurately and looks natural within the design. ### Bringing Your Stories to Life For me, mehendi goes beyond traditional patterns. It is a canvas for storytelling. Whether you want a lifelike sketch of your partner, a portrait of a deity like Lord Shiva or Krishna, or a symbol that represents a special family moment, I treat every portrait as a unique piece of art. ### My Process Portrait art requires a different technique compared to standard bridal work. I focus heavily on shading and fine-line geometry to ensure the depth is right. * **The Consultation:** We start by discussing the photo. High-contrast images with clear lighting work best. * **The Sketching:** I don't go directly to the skin. I map out the placement so the portrait flows with the other elements of your hand or arm design. * **The Shading:** Using my signature shading style, I bring the figure to life, ensuring it stands out against the intricate jali or floral work surrounding it. ### Why Choose Portrait Mehendi? This style is perfect for brides who want to incorporate their wedding journey, such as the moment of the proposal or a significant date, directly into their mehendi. It is also highly popular for festivals like Mahashivratri or Janmashtami, where devotees want to honor their faith. My portrait work is part of my 'Signature Portrait & Storytelling' package. This isn't just about the portrait; it is about how that portrait sits in the overall design, ensuring the entire arm or leg looks cohesive. I use 100% organic, chemical-free henna, which means the stain will be rich and dark, making the detailed lines of the portrait pop clearly once the mehendi develops fully. If you are in Navi Mumbai and want something beyond the usual motifs, let's chat about your ideas. ## About Sunita Shinde I am Sunita.
