Nithya Rajkumar
Licensed Photographer & Photography Mentor
Hello there!
Photography, for me, is all about capturing the unique essence of people. Photography, for me, is about capturing the unique essence of people and preserving moments that hold meaning long after they pass. Nothing brings me greater joy than witnessing the excitement and happiness of my clients when they receive their photographs.
I specialize in lifestyle portraits (that means no rigid studios), and follow a guided yet natural style of photography combining the unique spirit & natural beauty of each person and along with their environment to create authentic, expressive images.
Whether at home, in an office setting, or at a beautiful outdoor location across the UAE, I ensure every session feels comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable.
From powerful business headshots to heartfelt family moments, my work is always about creating images to cherish for years to come.
As an experienced retail brand & product expert I support entrepreneurs and women-led small businesses in the UAE with professional headshots and product photography.I thoughtfully integrate branding insight, styling expertise, and a deep understanding of color into every shoot.
As a mother of two lovely daughters, it brings me great joy to make a fellow mom’s photo wish come true. I simply love photographing the little humans in her life, bringing patience, warmth, and genuine joy to every session.
PURPOSEFUL PHOTOGRAPHY
I believe photography has the power to inspire change and tell stories that matter.
Over the years, I have used my lens to create socially impactful projects that celebrate human essence and meaningful connections. I have witnessed how photography can unite hearts, raise awareness, and give voice to untold stories. It is my way of giving back—using art to create impact, one image at a time.
'PINKDAYTOSHINE'
Capturing portraits and stories of Hope, Resilience and Positivity.
In 2018, I founded #PinkDayToShine, a pro bono initiative honoring breast cancer warriors. What began as a heartfelt tribute has grown into an annual campaign celebrating women whose strength and spirit refuse to be dimmed. Supported by Nikon Middle East and compassionate partners across the UAE, the project continues to shine a light on courage and inner radiance.
Special People Big Hearts
I specialize in photographing children with special needs, capturing children as seen through a mother’s eyes — beyond labels and spectrums. Over the years, I have met incredible children and mothers who embody profound love and strength.
This initiative is dedicated to my best friend’s sister, Akku, who was born with a genetic condition. In honor of this cause close to my heart, I offer a special discounted package for mothers of special children throughout the year.

Do you shoot images in a studio?
No. I specialize in lifestyle portraits — which means I try to bring forth the mood and beauty of a space into the portraits and also this enables me to get my clients off the rigid tight spaces of a studio. I try to play with a mix of natural light and studio lights making my clients more relaxed and comfortable. Shoots can be arranged in outdoor locations, at your home or your office space, or we rent out spaces based on the photo outcome needed as per each client.
