How do I start off ? Its simple, first of all fix up an appointment to meet so that everything can be explained and discussed in length. Also, I do not use standard formulas to shoot every one and everything alike. Meeting beforehand also helps evaluate and guide you to plan your shoot in the best possible manner. You may call up at 9871020341 (or whats app) anytime to fix an appointment. If you are not based in Delhi, send in your photos or fix a skype chat.
How long will the session take place ? A complete portfolio generally takes up the whole day. Time for hair and makeup done at the studio is included in the photo session. It is a good idea to start as early as possible, say around 8 am or 9am. The make up may take about an hour or so. the actual shot thus starts around 10 or 11am. Starting early helps to wind up in time and also take into account any delays due to unforeseen factors.
What if it takes longer than the expected time ? Its best to mention the right number of products / garments / looks before hand so that the estimated time involved is worked out accordingly. The pace of the shoot is managed accordingly.
What if the shoot starts late ? There are no delays from our end. Its best to schedule the starting time when you can actually start. If all the talent is available to begin the shoot as scheduled, its the loss of the client. We do try to compensate for that as much as possible but sometimes, its not in control. The scheduled time is considered as the start off time.
How early should I book ? Earlier, the better. This helps you also plan everything smoothly. However, if available I can schedule the shoot at a short notice as well.
What are the Cancellation terms ? If cancelled 15 days before the date of the shoot 90% of the total fees will be refunded back immediately. No refund within15 days of the shoot. If postponed 7 days before the date of the shoot, no additional charges. If postponed within 7 days 10% of the total fees will be charged extra.
Can I see the results as the shoot progresses ? yes, you can. In fact you can always make suggestions and advice, if things are not proceeding the way you had planned, as at this stage everything can be adjusted. However, once the shoot is completed, it may not be possible to make any changes. Also, depending on the situation you may choose to see the images on the camera screen itself rather than seeing them on the computer. Shooting tethered ( connected to the camera) sometimes does slow down the shooting pace and versatility.
Can you provide the models ? yes, we can provide models only if 50% of the estimated cost has already been paid in advance. Also, in such cases we may or may not add a nominal 10% to the models actual fees.
What if do not like any of the models ? In that case, you can book a model directly as well from any of the modelling agencies. Please note that all photographers provide models through modelling agencies only and that's the best way to go about it.
How do we select the models ? Through photographs and details of the vital statistics. The models, if needed can come for the outfit trial, audition session.

You also have the option to add more photographs to your collection.
How many number of pictures will you be shooting? The whole shoot is nowadays done on high-end digital cameras. This helps in shooting unlimited pictures without bothering about added expenditure of film and processing. You do not have to worry about the number of frames or number of rolls used anymore. Just concentrate on your looks.
Do I get to select the photographs? yes, Since there are a lot of photographs i generally shortlist the photographs and among this set you can further choose the best ones you like. this makes your work much easier. At the end of the shoot as well as during the shoot, we’ll look at your photos on a computer screen and talk about which images / looks /expressions work best.
How many pictures will I finally get ? As many as you want. But it is always good to have only the best pictures in the portfolio which are very strong in every aspect and do not show any flaws at all. The images should show the model in his/her best. The presentation CD or website could have more images but the prints should be restricted to about 10. It's all a team work. any picture where the model or the make up artist or the photographer are not up to the mark does not make to the final selection.
