Celebrity Photography
Tumblr media
It is not easy to take pictures of a celebrity, with their high expectations they always demand best of their images. It’s a tough field to break into. Being the Top Fashion photographer in Mumbai, we do celebrity photography in Mumbai and we are among the best Bollywood photographers. The best celebrity photography is achieved not just with degrees but having expertise in lighting & composition along with a good understanding of post-production. A celebrity is a famous personality and they face the camera almost everyday. They are well verse with the best angles, poses and expression. In celebrity photography, a celebrity is well aware of anything and everything that goes into a photo shoot; so what’s our unique role in shooting with a celebrity? At times; it’s about updating her/his old portfolio with looks that are in trend while sometimes it’s about breaking the character you are being perceived in. It can also be about demonstrating your potential for that new role you’re pitching for!
Celebrity Photography is a bigger challenge and a good opportunity, a photographer could get. Bar set by them and the expectation of the output is already high. Having a decade of experience in the field of fashion & photography, our team is expert in modelling/acting portfolio shooting. We have shot various ad campaigns and editorial
for celebrities like Pria Kataria Puri, Archana Kochhar, Femina, Filmfare, Cineblitz. We have been fortunate enough to shoot with famous models/actors like Dipanita sharma, Gauhar Khan, Urvashi Sharma, Tushar Kapoor, Moni Kangana Dutta to name a few.
It is great to click photographs for a popular and experienced face who works great with camera. We value the time of the celebrities, hence we strategize to pull it off by conceptualizing & styling in advance so that it’s easier to take control of the shoot in lesser time.

Pairing: Noah Sebastian x reader
Summary: You are always cold and blunt, but when Noah needs you, you show him a side of you that’s unexpectedly tender.
Tw: just fluff and taking care of a sick noah
Tumblr media
You had been working with Bad Omens for a while now. It started as a way to get your foot in the door of the music industry, but quickly turned into a full-time thing. Touring, managing logistics, keeping the band in line, and occasionally making sure they didn't break anything or burn down a hotel room.
When you first started living with them, it didn’t take long for them to figure out that you were a sharp mix of sarcasm, gruffness, and blunt honesty. You didn’t sugarcoat things. If they looked ridiculous, you told them. If they were being annoying, you let them know. But despite your icy, sometimes cold demeanor, the band still loved you. You weren’t a big talker about your emotions, but they all knew you cared, in your own way.
Noah, though? He was different. He didn’t just take your sarcasm; he leaned into it, shyly flirting with you whenever he could.
Like that time in the kitchen when he walked in wearing a pair of jeans that were, unsurprisingly, too short to reach his ankles. He rifled through the cabinets for cereal, oblivious to the way you were staring at him over your coffee.
“You know,” you said, setting your mug down, “one day, you’re going to buy pants that actually fit, and it’s going to change your life.”
Noah froze mid-reach, turning to look at you with a confused expression. “What’s wrong with my pants?”
“They don’t cover your ankles, for starters.” You gestured toward his legs with a mocking smile. “Is it a fashion statement, or are you just bad at shopping?”
“I’m tall,” he protested, as if that explained everything.
“You’re not that tall.”
“I’m six three!” he said, indignant.
“Congratulations, Noah,” you deadpanned. “You’re the same height as many other tall guys in the world. Buy bigger pants.”
The rest of the band, who had wandered in during this exchange, immediately lost it. Folio was laughing so hard he had to lean against the counter, and Jolly just shook his head with a grin.
“You’re so mean,” Noah muttered, grabbing his cereal and retreating to the couch, his ears turning pink as the guys teased him relentlessly.
“Someone’s gotta tell you the truth,” you called after him. “Clearly, your friends aren’t doing it.”
But you knew Noah didn’t mind the teasing. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it in his own awkward way, even if the guys never let him live it down.
And then there was that other time in the living room. You were sitting on the couch, scrolling through your phone, when Noah plopped down next to you. He shifted to face you, his signature hesitant smile already in place.
“So,” he began, leaning in slightly, “if I asked you to go out with me, what are the chances you’d say yes?”
You didn’t even look up. “Zero.”
“Not even one percent?”
“Not even half a percent,” you said, glancing at him out of the corner of your eye. “Why? You planning to impress me with your ability to burn toast again?”
The band, as always, burst into laughter. Noah groaned, running a hand through his hair, but you caught the small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He was used to this by now.
“You’re impossible,” he muttered, shaking his head.
“You’re predictable,” you shot back, setting your phone down. “Every time you try to flirt, it ends up in a disaster."
He laughed despite himself, his cheeks flushing pink. “Maybe one day I’ll surprise you.”
“Doubt it,” you said with a smirk, though you couldn’t deny the warmth in his voice made your chest tighten just a little.
But the teasing didn’t stop there. Another time, the two of you had been sitting on the porch late at night, the house unusually quiet for once. Noah was writing something in a notebook, probably working on some ideas for a new song, his brows furrowed in concentration, while you sipped on a drink.
After a while, Noah looked up, noticing you looking like you were lost in thought. “What’s going on? You seem quiet tonight.”
You shrugged. “I was thinking about picking up some of those cupcakes from that new bakery in town. Some of you guys mentioned you wanted to try them, so I might as well bring some back for everyone.”
Noah grinned. “Wait, you’re actually going to do something nice like that?”
You shot him a playful glare. “What, you think I’m incapable of being nice?”
"No, it's just..." He hesitated, looking at you for a moment, "nevermind. I think they would appreciate that."
You raised an eyebrow. “What about you, though? What’s your favorite flavor?”
Noah hesitated again, glancing at you with a mischievous grin. “If I tell you, you’ll just pick all of them except that one.”
You crossed your arms and rolled your eyes. “Oh, come on. Just tell me, for fuck’s sake. I’m not going to sabotage the cupcake choices.”
He chuckled. “Fine. The one with the white sparkles on top. Now I’m sure this is the only one I won’t even see in the box.”
You smirked. “Don’t worry. I’ll get one just for you.”
He shyly looked away but you were sure he didn't really believe you.
“You know,” he said after a while, his voice soft, “you can be really sweet when you’re not roasting me in front of everyone.”
You raised an eyebrow, leaning back in your chair. “Oh, yeah? And when exactly am I not roasting you?”
“Right now,” he said, looking up at you with a shy smile.
You snorted, shaking your head. “Don’t get used to it.”
“Too late,” he said, his grin growing wider. “I’ll take what I can get.”
That night, you sat on the porch with him until it got too cold.
A couple of days later, you came home with a big box of cupcakes, the band cheered just at the sight of it. Folio kissed you on the cheek, surprising you as everyone gathered around the box like kids.
"Seriously man?" You looked at Folio.
"Ops."
Noah, leaning against the counter, had no expectation of seeing the cupcake with the white sparkles, thinking you probably even forgot that coversation. He watched as you opened the box, and there it was, right in the middle. You handed it to him, and his eyes softened in surprise.
He took the cupcake from your hand, a small smile spreading across his face. “Thank you.”
"I promised. Didn't I?" You just said.
And then, of course, there was that night in the living room when the guys called you out. The TV was on in the background, but no one was really watching it. Nick leaned back in his chair, smirking as he watched Noah sit next to you on the couch.
“You two ever gonna stop this weird flirting slash bullying thing and just kiss already?” Nick asked.
Noah nearly choked on his drink, and you shot him a withering glare. “Do you ever stop talking?”
“Not really,” he said, unfazed. “But seriously, Noah’s been crushing on you for months, and you just keep shutting him down. Give the poor guy a break.”
Noah groaned, burying his face in his hands. “Can you not?”
“You’re all delusional,” you said flatly, crossing your arms. “This isn’t flirting. This is me tolerating him.”
“Sure it is,” Nick said, grinning. “That’s why you always smile whenever you roast him.”
You rolled your eyes, but you didn’t bother denying it. Noah peeked at you from between his fingers, his cheeks still flushed, and you sighed.
“You’re all idiots,” you muttered, grabbing your phone and walking out of the room.
But as you left, you couldn’t help but smile to yourself. Because despite your sharp tongue and cold comments, you knew that you cared about him. You cared about all of them but with Noah it had always been different.
And then, there was the time Noah got sick.
It had been a long day. You’d been out since the morning with a friend, running errands, getting things done, and by the time you finally made it home, it was late afternoon. You kicked off your shoes and threw your bag on the couch, letting out a sigh of relief as you sank into the cushions.
It was quieter than usual. You glanced around, expecting to see Noah lurking somewhere nearby, like he always did—sitting on the counter, hanging out in the living room, always popping up like a cat in need of attention. But today, there was no sign of him.
You raised an eyebrow, a little puzzled. It was weird that he wasn’t around. It had been hours, and you figured he’d at least come say hi. He was always around. He was probably just in his room working on some new music, you thought.
“Hey, Nick,” you called out, when he enetered the living room. “Have you seen Noah?”
Nicholas glanced up from his phone, shrugging. “Oh, uh, this morning he wasn’t feeling great. Said he had a bit of a fever and just kind of stayed in his room after that. He’s probably asleep.”
You froze for a second, immediately feeling a knot form in your stomach. Noah never liked to admit when he was sick, but you couldn’t remember the last time he’d actually stayed in his room like this.
“Okay,” you said, but your voice felt off, the concern creeping into your words. “Thanks.”
You didn’t hesitate. Your feet carried you quickly down the hallway to Noah’s door, and your hand was already on the knob before you realized it. You knocked, but when there was no response, you opened the door quietly, peering inside. The blinds were drawn, and the room was dimly lit, but Noah was laying on his bed, curled up under blankets.
The sight of him immediately set off alarm bells in your head. He looked... pale, almost ghostly, and he was barely moving. His breathing was shallow, and his hair stuck to his forehead. The moment he noticed you standing there, his eyes fluttered open, and he blinked, as if trying to focus.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, his voice hoarse and weak, barely above a whisper.
You walked over slowly, concern heavy in your chest. “I’m just checking on you,” you said softly, walking closer to his bed.
You crouched down beside him, reaching out to touch his forehead. The heat radiating off his skin made your heart drop. He was burning up. The soft shiver of his body confirmed the fever.
“You’re hot,” you said, your voice betraying the concern you didn’t bother to hide.
"Finally you admit it." He murmured.
You rolled your eyes. “No, you’re burning up,” you said, your hand gently brushing his hair out of his eyes. “Did you take anything for it?”
He shook his head weakly, looking almost embarrassed. “No, I... I didn’t think it was that bad.”
You let out a breath. “Noah, you’ve probably had a fever for hours. You’re not okay.” Without waiting for him to protest, you stood up, “I’m going to make you take some paracetamol, alright?”
He didn't respond, and you weren't even sure if he registered what you said. When you returned with a glass of water where you had dissolved the medicine, Noah looked up at you with droopy eyes. His pale face looked even more fragile in the dim light, and you could see how exhausted he was, barely able to keep his eyes open.
He tried to sit up, but his arms trembled, unable to sustain him. He swore under his breath, wincing as the strain pulled at his muscles, too weak to follow through on the effort.
"It's okay. Here." You quickly moved to his side, one hand gently supporting his back while you propped him up. His head rested heavily against your shoulder, and you felt a tightness in your chest as you steadied him.
His brown eyes fluttered, looking at you through half-lidded, his expression soft with confusion and exhaustion.
You moved slowly, carefully, making sure he was comfortable before grabbing the glass of water from the nightstand. You held it up, making sure to keep it steady as you brought it closer to him.
His gaze met yours for a brief moment. It was almost as if he didn’t expect you to be so gentle with him, yet here you were, taking care of him without hesitation.
You placed the glass against his lips, guiding it toward his mouth. “Come on, Noah, you need to drink this,” you said, your voice soft but firm. His lips parted weakly as he took a small sip, the medicine sliding down his throat, though he barely seemed able to swallow.
His hands trembled as he gripped the glass, trying to help, but it was clear how difficult it was for him.
You supported the glass, steadying it in his hands, urging him gently, as your other hand still rested on his back, softly caressing it in slow, reassuring motions.
“Just a little more,” you coaxed, watching as he weakly took another sip, his body shuddering slightly from the effort. When he pulled away, you pulled the glass back, but your eyes never left him.
He gave you a tired, almost apologetic glance as he let his head rest back against the pillow, his body sinking deeper into the blankets.
His lips parted in a soft sigh, and you smiled faintly, brushing his hair from his forehead again, your thumb gently rubbing his temple for a moment. It was a quiet gesture, one that said more than words could express, as you continued to sit beside him.
A few minutes passed, and then, in a voice barely audible, he murmured, “I knew you were sweet.”
You smiled softly, a warmth spreading through you at the simple, quiet words. You leaned down, letting your hand go through his hair, murmuring, “I knew you knew.”
He let out a soft sigh, his breathing finally evening out as he fell deeper into sleep.
You stayed there with him for hours, the quiet of the room broken only by the soft hum of the house around you. You let your hand gently run through his hair, the touch almost rhythmic as you tried to soothe him.
Every so often, you’d press your hand to his forehead, checking if the fever had gone down at all, the heat still radiating off his skin, but a little less intense.
Every time his body shifted or he made a faint sound, probably from some fever-induced dream, you softly spoke his name or whispered a quiet, reassuring phrase, just trying to make sure he knew he wasn’t alone.
"You're okay," you murmured gently, brushing a lock of hair away from his forehead when his brow furrowed slightly. "Just rest, Noah. You’re gonna be fine."
There was something incredibly tender about the way his breath would catch, his eyes fluttering under his eyelids, almost as though he could hear your voice even in his sleep. It made your chest ache in a way you didn’t know how to explain.
Noah shifted in his sleep, his body instinctively leaning closer until his face pressed gently against your side. The soft, unconscious gesture made your chest tighten, but you didn’t move. Instead, you noticed the blanket had slipped from his shoulder, leaving him partially uncovered. With careful hands, you pulled it back up, tucking it around him securely. Your fingers brushed lightly against his hairline as you settled back, letting him stay close.
As the evening drew on and his breathing steadied, the fever seemed to break a little. You let your fingers linger over his temple, softly caressing his arm when you noticed the tremble in his hand. It felt like such an intimate moment, one where all the usual sarcasm, sharp words, and teasing were left behind, replaced by something quiet, simple, and real.
Your fingers traced over his knuckles as you kept his tattoed hand in yours before you gently leaned down, brushing your lips against his forehead. You pulled away just as quickly, unsure of what had made you do it—maybe it was the tenderness of the moment, or maybe it was the quiet realization that despite all the banter, despite everything you’d told him, you cared about him more than you ever showed.
Wild for the girl who acted like a bitch all the time, right?
But in that moment, with Noah asleep and calmer than he’d been all day, you couldn’t care less about how it seemed or your usual weird ways of protecting your feelings. You just wanted him to feel better, to know that, despite all your sharp words and sarcastic remarks, there was no place you’d rather be than right there beside him, making sure he was okay.
And for once, you let yourself believe that maybe he knew exactly what you meant when you said, "I'm here, Noah. I'm not gonna leave."

Can you imagine Noah being nervous the thirst time he meets ✨Her✨?
Hi this has been sitting in my asks for awhile but today it is heavy on my spirit so let’s go!
Because Noah, my sweet baby boy, is a DUMMY. He’s a DUMBASS. So when he sees ✨Her✨ for the first time, he doesn’t even register that it’s any kind of love-at-first-sight situation, just thinks “oh yeah she’s really hot and I wanna sleep with her that’s what this feeling is” even though someone (jolly) points out that Noah has slept with more than a few hot women before and has never had this visceral of a reaction, okay, whatever! In my little pea brain I looooooove an opposites attract kinda situation, so I think it would be really sweet if Noah didn’t end up with an all-black-and-chains metalcore girly, but someone who presented themselves in cozy sweaters and keeps their nose in a book or someone who always checks to see if <clothing item> comes in pink and uses glitter on the daily (I’m not projecting you’re projecting it’s my post!!!) or even someone who’s very tradgoth versus just alt yknow? Like obviously hotness transcends aesthetics but there’s something visibly different about ✨Her✨and I think that’s why Noah does a double-take and shrugs it off as good ole fashioned lust. But then :-/ things escalate right :-/ because Noah goes in with intentions of seduction! But you won’t be fooled by hot band boys! You are grown! You know ur worth and you refuse to be another notch in this boy’s belt and I think that would be the nail in the coffin for our guy Noah. Bc he goes back to someone in the band (Nicky <3) and is like “she… said no?” And he’s VERY confused you see because He’s Noah Sebastian and he doesn’t do well with rejection and you were very kind but refused him and so Nick is like “did you try asking her to lunch before propositioning her with sex?” And Noah is like hmmmmm…… a concept, Nicholas……. So he returns to you, asks you to lunch, you say yes because you know you’ll be able to resist the call of him bending you over a table in a public cafe at noon (stronger than me tbh), and Noah is so PLEASED. He is giddy. He realizes he’s more excited about your lunch (baby does not know it’s a date) than the possibility of getting to have sex with you bc he desperately wants to know more about you, stalks your Instagram on his burner, finds your headshot for your work on their website and proceeds to tell anyone who will listen (Folio) about how photogenic you are. Anyways! So yeah you go on a date lunch outing and it’s in your neighborhood so you show him the cute shops up the road and he buys you a book you’ve been wanting but haven’t invested in because you have no room on your shelves (“do you want to go to IKEA?” “For what?” “For a bookshelf, I can build it for you-“ “Noah.”) and he thinks he’s never gonna be happy again until he sees that sparkle in your eye when he handed you the flimsy sack containing the tome you so desired! And maybe he gets brave enough to hold your hand as he walks you back to your car! And maybe you’re not just another notch on his belt so you invite him back to your place for coffee! And maybe! Maybe he shyly asks if he can kiss you in your kitchen and you say yes and he tastes like cream and sugar and his hands are on your hips but not your ass and he’s smiling into the kiss and it’s making you giggle and maybe I’ll light myself on fire from where I’m watching outside the kitchen window! The end good morning everyone.
