    Location Shoot

    I love shooting in beautiful locations! Pricing depends on travel distance, time spent shooting, additional crew needed, number of final images requested and usage.

  • Queer From Here

    Participation in the project is open to all individuals identifying as “queer”. Participants may use the final image on their socials free of charge as long as it is not modified in any way and credit is given to the photographer and project. Please inquire about licensing images for any other uses such as a press photo, book jacket photo, corporate photo etc. Individuals wishing to jump the queue may sign up for a studio portrait, and in doing so may use the image more broadly.

FAQs

Where is Mithi Studio?

Mithi Studio is in the South of Market neighborhood in San Francisco.

How many options will I have from my session?

Within two weeks of our shoot I will share 30-60 watermarked selections.

Can I have all the images from my shoot?

In order to maintain quality output, I do not release unretouched images. I am happy to retouch as many images you need at an hourly or bulk rate.

How many outfits should I bring for a headshot?

We can usually do three looks in 45 minutes.

Why does it matter how my photo will be used?

In order to keep pricing affordable for individuals and job-seekers, I do tiered-pricing based on usage. Personal use is always included, and folks who need to distribute the image to third-parties or who will otherwise monetize the photo can purchase a license.
