### My story

Hey, I'm Vidhi. Mumbai’s home now, but I learned my craft at The Art Institute in the States. My Canon 5D Mark III is like an old friend - still my go-to, even after 13 years. I’m not into chasing every new trend or shiny gadget. I just show up, do the work, and find peace in that. On shoots, I’m all in - fixing beds, moving stuff, whatever. The best days? When everything clicks and the shoot feels like poetry.

### My work

- **Photography & Films**: I shoot portraits, headshots, commercial lookbooks, jewellery campaigns, and short films. My style is raw and real.
- **Hands-on Shoots**: I keep the vibe easy, aiming for natural light portraits and smooth, effortless energy on set.
- **Minimal Retouching**: I love muted tones and minimal retouching photography - clean skin, organic textures, no over-editing.
- **Workshops**: I run hands-on photography workshops, especially on lighting and creating harmony of colours.
