Saikat — running for Congress!
Shooting Saikat was awesome — he’s super natural in front of the camera, really focused but also chill. Felt like I wasn’t just taking pics of a candidate, but of a person who actually cares about what he’s doing.
I was actually shooting him on his canvassing day, going door to door and talking to people and before June 2025 No Kings protest at his headquarters.

How much the shooting costs?
It will depend on your case. On average, the price is calculated as follows: price of the photographer’s work + rent + team + additional services.
All prices can see in section “SERVICES”.
How many pictures will I get?
For a one-hour shoot, you’ll receive up to 80 edited shots. And remember, depending on your specific needs and the time we spend, we can always negotiate the total number of shots separately.
Feel free to ask if you need any more guidance or have additional questions—I’m here to help!
Do you make a retouch of photos?
I do minimal retouching and only as needed. My philosophy is to capture people as they truly are—natural and authentic. I strive for a genuine and unfiltered approach in my photography.
However, basic color correction is, of course, part of the process. It ensures that the colors in the final images look true to life and enhance the overall visual appeal.
