Sudha Chandani Khatri
In an inspiring shift from machines to moments, former engineer Sudha Chandani Khatri is capturing more than images-she’s capturing the spirit of womanhood through her celebrated studio, PortraitsBySudha. What began as a personal passion has grown into a transformational movement where everyday women step into their power, one portrait at a time.
After leaving a successful engineering career, Sudha followed her creative instincts to build a portrait studio unlike any other. Based in Bangalore, PortraitsBySudha is not just a photography experience-it’s an emotional and personal transformation. Combining expert styling, emotional guidance, and intentional portraiture, Sudha helps women rediscover confidence, self-love, and bold self-expression.
“Women walk into my studio unsure of themselves,” says Sudha. “But they leave with their heads high, seeing a version of themselves they didn’t know existed. It’s more than beauty-it’s belief.”
An official Canon Influencer, Profoto Mentor, and ambassador for several top global brands, Sudha’s work has been featured in prestigious platforms such as Rangefinder Magazine. Yet, her mission remains deeply personal: to shift how women see themselves and challenge outdated beauty narratives.
“My camera is just the tool,” Sudha shares. “What I really offer is a mirror-a reflection of strength, softness, and everything in between.”
With PortraitsBySudha, Sudha Chandani Khatri isn’t just taking photographs-she’s telling stories of courage, self-worth, and liberation. In a world that constantly critiques how women look, she’s built a space where they can celebrate who they are.
