Photography & Creative Direction

With over eight years of experience, I specialize in editorial portraits, branding and lifestyle photography. Capturing people, spaces, products, and services in a way that feels intentional and elevated.

From founders and growing teams to small businesses and established brands, I’ve worked across a wide range of projects supporting visual branding, marketing campaigns, and creative content. Whether you’re building something new or refining what already exists, the focus is always on imagery that works - both visually and strategically.

I offer in-studio and on-location shoots, with creative direction and a collaborative approach from concept to final delivery.

For projects that require additional support, I work with a trusted network of models, stylists, hair, and makeup artists, bringing in the right people depending on the scope and vision of the shoot.

Tell me what you’re working on and I’ll take it from there.

  • Dhakshayini was a pleasure to work with from our first interaction. We were referred to her by another photographer and she was efficient at responding, super knowledgeable and flexible to adjust her services to our needs. It is always a bit nerve wracking working with a new photographer but she made our team feel comfortable in front of the camera and everyone in our office was pleased with the results. We would absolutely work with her or recommend her to anyone else looking for branding photos. Thanks again Dhakshayini!

  • Dhakshayini has been my photographer for the past four years and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly professional, reliable, and consistently delivers top quality work. From the very beginning, she understood my vision and has always known how to bring it to life in a way that feels elevated but still authentic to me. What sets her apart is not just her talent behind the camera, but her ability to think strategically about branding. Her photos have played a huge role in helping me scale my brand, attract the right partnerships, and show up online with confidence. Every shoot feels intentional, collaborative, and so well executed. If you are looking for someone who is creative, dependable, and genuinely invested in your success, Dhakshayini is the one.
