About Portrait & Headshot Photography
My Philosophy
Mere liye (for me), portrait photography is about capturing something real, not just clicking a button. After 16 years behind the lens, I still believe the basics matter most - good light, strong expressions, and a sharp focus. Equipment changes, but these essentials don't.
What I Shoot
- Expressive headshots for actors, models, and professionals. Each image is made to show your personality, whether you need color or black & white.
- Studio portrait sessions for corporate folks, new models, or anyone looking to add something strong to their professional portfolio images.
- Lifestyle portrait photography - this is more relaxed, candid, and feels like you, not some stiff pose.
- Beauty headshots - if you want clean, striking close-ups that highlight skin, makeup, and hair. From natural to bold looks, I make sure the final shot is polished.
How I Work
Most shoots happen in my studio, where I control the lighting to get the mood just right. Sometimes, I team up with makeup artists and stylists for that extra finish. I shoot in RAW and handle skin retouching myself, so your photos are crisp but still look natural.
What Matters
Main chahta hoon (I want) you walk out with images that make you feel confident and actually show who you are. It's not about being perfect, but about getting something that works for you.

My Story
16 saal ho gaye, camera haath mein. Jab piche dekhta hoon, ek photo hai jo 12-13 saal pehle li thi, abhi bhi dil ko chhoo jaati hai. Mera safar bas seekhne aur baantne ka raha. Maine bhi focus, light, gear ke struggles dekhe hain. Ab jab bhi time milta hai, dusre photographers ko help karta hoon, chahe kabhi content kam ho jaye. Bas, imperfect beauty dhundta hoon, aur photography se usko capture karta hoon.
