Why Your Headshots Matter?
In 2025, people Google you before they even meet you.
They want to see who YOU are, get a 'feel' or 'sense' of you, get some clues about who you are to size you up. You do it too, right? Actually it is an opportunity, the best opportunity to create a great first impression.
Your LinkedIn headshot or website portrait creates a first impression about you.
Let me help you convey confidence, credibility, and your personal brand with impactful headshots and portraits. With great headshots make a resounding statement about you to your clients, partners, recruiters, vendors or just about anyone!
Headshots That Open Doors, Unlock Opportunities
Many clients come to me saying the same thing — “I’m not photogenic,” “I hate posing,” or “I’ve never had a photo I actually liked.”
Getting a great headshot that shows your confidence and credibility is not easy. Neighborhood photo studios, wedding photographers, or do-it-all photographers often don’t understand the nuances and minutiae involved. They have different priorities and rarely focus on your discomfort with being in front of a camera, posing, feeling awkwardness getting photos taken.
Most photographers are judgmental about others' looks, most have poor communication skills - they can't guide you, most simply don't know how to guide you, put you at ease.
How can I help you?
I will guide you through every step — from choosing the right outfit and location to helping you feel at ease during the shoot. That's my process, end to end process, to make sure necessary preparation goes into making great headshots.
Together, we’ll create portraits that don’t just look good — they make you feel proud to be seen.
Don’t just take my word for it…here’s what people said after their session,
when they finally see themselves the way they want to be seen.”

Why I Love Portrait Photography?
Portrait photography's is about people, psychology, it brings in unique challenge in capturing complex yet subtle nuances of expression in a single frame. There are so many intriguing details, minutia, in people's expressions, posing, body language, lighting and retouching. I want to use them as my palette in paining the portraits - like a painter uses different colors to portray a person on canvas. That's what I love, love it so much that I don't shoot weddings, products, wildlife - I don't find them as interesting. I need a living, breathing person, you on the other side of my camera, not animals or man-made things!
Why You Need a Specialist?
Say, you got a skin or an eye infection.
Which doctor would you consult?
A general physician or a specialist?
Yeah, right! A specialist!!
Why should photography be any different?
Most people think photography is just about having a camera, that any photographer can shoot portraits, weddings, or products. That’s being naive. It’s just wrong.
In India the market for specialized photography services was limited, and a single photographer often catered to diverse needs. While this might have been sufficient in the past, it’s not the case anymore. It is time to wake up and see the world has changed. Artistic standards have risen, and low-quality photos doesn’t work anymore if you want to be taken seriously. Photo studios can only offer that, they are shops (duh!) that churn out photos without attention to quality.
If you want a great portrait of yourself, you need a specialized portrait photographer who brings unique skill necessary to capture the essence of your individual personality. A specialist portrait artist understands the importance of minute details that a generalist photographer never even heard of.
