Portfolio Shoot in Bangalore — The Honest Overview
FrameFusion Photography has been delivering portfolio shoot across Bangalore since 2018. Sessions start at ₹6,000 and typical coverage runs 3 hours. Unlike studios that subcontract editing or videography, we keep every stage — shoot, cull, colour, motion, album — under one roof, which is how we hit a 48-hour sneak peek and a 2–3 week full gallery without compromising on tone.
We work across all five Bangalore zones — Whitefield, Malleshwaram, Whitefield, Jayanagar and beyond — with travel built into the base quote for any venue inside the ORR. Outstation and destination shoots are billed at actuals plus a flat per-day fee, no inflated logistics markups.
What's Included in a Portfolio Shoot Booking
Every portfolio shoot package, regardless of tier, includes the following — no asterisks, no bundled-out essentials:
- 60+ professionally edited images delivered within 1 week
- Pre-shoot consultation — 20-minute call to lock the shot list, timing, and any cultural or family-specific notes.
- Edited high-resolution gallery delivered via a private online link with download permission.
- 48-hour sneak peek of 10–15 hero frames for social sharing.
Add-ons people most commonly attach to portfolio shoot: a second photographer (₹8,000/day), drone (₹5,000/event), same-day reel edit (₹10,000), and a printed Karizma album. Full price list lives on the pricing page.
Our Portfolio Shoot Process — From Inquiry to Final Album
1. Inquiry & quote (within 6 hours)
Send your date, location, and rough timeline. We respond within 6 working hours with availability, a tailored quote, and 2–3 sample galleries that match your event type.
2. Recce & creative brief
For weddings and large events anywhere inside Bangalore, we do a free recce of the venue — checking ceiling height, natural light windows, ritual flow, and where the family elders will sit. For studio or single-location shoots we replace this with a 20-minute call.
3. Shoot day
We arrive 45–60 minutes early. Lead photographer + assistant + cinematographer (for video packages) operate in parallel — never asking guests to re-do moments. Coverage runs 3 hours.
4. Delivery
48-hour sneak peek → 2–3 week full gallery → 3–4 week cinematic film (if applicable) → 6–8 week printed album (if applicable). Every milestone is timestamped in your client portal.
Portfolio Shoot Pricing — Why ₹6,000 Is the Honest Starting Point
Pricing for portfolio shoot across Bangalore is driven by four levers: hours of coverage, number of crew, deliverables (photo only vs photo + cinematic + album), and distance from our HSR Layout studio. Our base ₹6,000 tier assumes a single shooter, edited photo gallery, and a venue inside the ORR.
| What changes the price | Typical impact |
|---|---|
| Adding a second photographer or cinematographer | +₹8,000 to ₹15,000 |
| Drone coverage | +₹5,000 per event |
| Same-day teaser reel (90s) | +₹10,000 |
| Printed Karizma album (30 pages) | +₹12,000 |
| Outstation travel (beyond city limits) | Actuals + ₹5,000/day |
