About me

Greetings! I hope this message finds you in great spirits. It is my pleasure to introduce myself as Aakruti Sarangdhar (or simply - Akay), a Mumbai born visual artist specializing in Portraits, Editorial, Advertising & Commercial Photography.
My artistic journey is deeply rooted in the amalgamation of consciousness, authenticity, and romanticism. I believe in offering a distinctive and thought-provoking perspective that engages and inspires. With the privilege of collaborating with renowned brands such as Budweiser, Payal Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Jaypore, Nivedita Saboo, Two Point Two Studio, among others, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. Over the past 8 years, I have refined my skills in delivering visually compelling and emotionally resonant imagery.

My educational background includes a master's degree from the University for the Creative Arts in the UK, where I gained invaluable insights that enhance my artistic endeavors. Specializing in Headshots, Character & Mood Portraits, Fashion & Advertising Photography, I have had the honor of having my work featured in esteemed publications like Times Life India, Midday, TMMindia, and PhotoVogue. Additionally, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with prestigious channels such as MTV and NDTV, and have had the opportunity to photograph both Bollywood and British celebrities.
