Portrait & Headshot Photography in Kalyani Nagar, Pune

Portraits and headshots for people who need the photograph to say something particular — a founder profile, a speaker bio, an author page.

A portrait is an argument

A headshot for a board page and one for a creative profile are different photographs of the same person.

Once a portrait has a defined use, "a nice photograph of me" stops being a brief.

Approachable and senior pull in opposite directions. So do technical and warm, and so do authoritative and creative. Each is achievable and each needs deciding first, because they are produced by different lighting, different framing and a different way of working with the person in front of the camera.

That decision takes a few minutes and it is the whole session in miniature. Everything after it — the light, how close we work, whether you are looking at the lens — follows from the answer.

Bring more than one option to wear if the use is not yet settled. Clothing carries more of the register than most people expect, and it is the easiest variable to change once we are underway.

The register question is worth answering honestly rather than aspirationally. A portrait that says senior when the role is client-facing works against you.

It is also worth knowing where it will sit. A photograph beside eight others taken elsewhere has a consistency problem no amount of quality fixes.

For teams, shooting together solves that entirely and takes less time than people expect.

Getting ready

Deciding the register first

Decide what the portrait needs to say before the session. Approachable and senior pull in opposite directions and each needs different lighting.

Bring more than one option to wear. Clothing carries more of the register than most people expect.

If it is for a platform with specific requirements, bring them rather than discovering them afterwards.

Planning it

What we establish

What the photograph is for, because a board page and a creative profile are different photographs of the same person.

Whether it is one person or a team, since consistency matters more than individual brilliance across a set.

And whether there is a deadline.

What do you need to know beforehand?

What the photograph is for. A board page, a speaker profile, a creative portfolio and a company directory all want something different from the same person.

How long does a session take?

Short. The photography is quick; the useful part is deciding what the portrait needs to convey before we start.

What should I wear?

Something you actually wear and feel comfortable in, plus a second option. Clothing carries more of the register than people expect.

Can you photograph a whole team?

Yes, here or at your office. Consistency across a team page matters more than any individual frame in it.

Do you retouch?

Lightly by default. Tell us your preference.

Can we do formal and informal versions?

Usually yes, if we know at the start.

Do you come to offices?

Yes, and for a team set it is usually simpler.

Is there a deadline option?

Tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it is achievable.

Do you photograph speakers and authors?

Yes, and the brief differs from a corporate headshot.

Can we get multiple crops?

Yes. Tell us where they are going.

How soon after the shoot do we receive the images?

We confirm the timeline in writing when you book rather than leaving it open.

Can we get a small set early?

Tell us at booking if it matters and we will prioritise it.

Do you travel outside Pune?

Yes, across Maharashtra and beyond for work that warrants it, with travel agreed upfront.

How do we book?

Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.

What is it for?

Answer that and the session plans itself. Tell us and we will suggest a slot.
