Our Story
A name inherited from a writer. A vision passed forward through a lens.
The Name Behind the Studio
Mihira was the pen name of our Founder's father — a writer who believed that stories, told with honesty, could outlive time. Years later, his son carried that belief forward — not with words, but with light.
And that's how Mihira Studios was born — as a continuation of a legacy, and a tribute to everything worth remembering. Every family that steps into Mihira becomes part of that legacy of love, laughter, and light passed through generations.
The Artist
Founder & Lead Photographer · Mihira Studios
I'm a documentary photographer with over 34 years of experience, deeply passionate about family photography. As a father of two and a grandfather of two, I truly understand the joy and emotion behind every family portrait.
At Mihira Studios, we welcome over 200 families every year. Our approach is built on humour, warmth, and genuine connection — because we believe that a photoshoot should be as memorable as the pictures themselves.
Over the years, I have documented people, places, fairs, and festivals across India — capturing the essence of everyday life and culture. With numerous exhibitions and publications to my credit, I also had the privilege of serving as the Program Head for the Indian Photo Festival.
I have mentored many emerging photographers and artists — including teaching photography to the visually impaired — proving that seeing is more about feeling than sight.
"It's that one second when a family forgets the camera — and remembers each other. That's the second Mihira lives for."

What We Believe
Three pillars that guide every session we create.
Sure, lighting and cameras matter, but real emotion comes from what's beyond the lens — sincerity. For us, people will always be the answer.
We schedule only one family shoot per day — giving each family the full time, attention, and care they truly deserve. No rush. Ever.
Every portrait is handcrafted — not templated. We look for the frame that no filter, no preset, and no formula could ever anticipate.
Behind Every Portrait
A dedicated family of creatives who share one belief — that your story deserves to be told beautifully.
