Portraits by Dev

There are moments in life that happen once and can never be repeated. Capturing Jonathan’s surprise proposal to Miguela inside the church was one of those moments. The anticipation before she walked in. The nerves. The look on her face when she realised what was happening. And then the yes. Pure joy. Afterwards, we stepped outside for a relaxed photo session nearby, letting the excitement turn into laughter, quiet smiles and that just engaged glow you cannot stage. This was my very first surprise proposal shoot in London, and I could not have asked for a more genuine and beautiful couple to share it with. Jonathan and Miguela, thank you for trusting me with something so personal. __________________________________ If you are planning a proposal, engagement or special moment and want it captured naturally and discreetly, feel free to reach out. I would love to help you tell your story. And keep an eye on this space later today.

I’m usually the one behind the camera, quietly capturing moments for others — noticing light, movement, emotions, and turning them into memories. But every now and then, I feel the pull to step into the frame myself, to experience what I usually create for everyone else. Because it’s not only about making beautiful images… sometimes it’s also about allowing yourself to be part of them 💜 I’m sharing with you the result of our with @timelessbydev wisteria photoshoot 😉 I’d love to know what you think how does this shoot feel to you? 😄 #wisteria #wisteriaseason #springphotoshoot #infrontofthecamera #spring

Back to where it all began. These portraits of @banani_dey_ were captured in Kolkata during my visit last October. There’s something different about shooting in a city that shaped you, the light feels familiar, the pace feels personal. Shot on my Fujifilm X-H1 with TTArtisan 27mm f2.8, keeping it light, simple and letting the moment lead. Would love to hear what you think of this set. 📸✨ ⸻ [portrait photography London] [kolkata portrait photographer] [indian portrait photography] [natural light portraits india] [UK creative community] [environmental portrait kolkata] [india photoshoot session] [timeless portrait photography]

Some pictures from the last fall. When I decided to resume portrait photography, @_srija_c_ helped me get the hang of it, and ended up getting a taste of photography herself, check out her page to see some of her craft. #throwback #portraitphotography #fall #london

Shifting from landscapes and street frames to portraits has opened a whole new space for creativity and every face brings a new story and a different rhythm. This session with the amazing Juliette (@juliette_knott )at the VCCH photo event organised by @advancedphotons showed me again how powerful it is when the camera connects with a person, not just a place. Loving this new chapter and the endless possibilities it brings.

Most of my journey has been about landscapes, travel, and the chaos of the streets, but portraits hit differently. This session with the brilliant MJ at a VCCH photo event organised by @advancedphotons reminded me how much magic there is when the camera connects with a person, not just a place. Excited for this new chapter. 📷✨ Special thanks to @modelsishoot for introducing me to this wonderful community and @aidanck_photography for all the tips and guidance!
