My name is
PUJAN DHAKAL

I am a photographer driven by the art of storytelling through images. For me, photography is more than just capturing moments—it’s about preserving emotions, atmosphere, and the subtle details that often go unnoticed.

how did i get into this profession

My journey into photography started with a simple curiosity for capturing moments. What began as experimenting with a camera—documenting everyday life, friends, and small details—soon grew into a passion for storytelling through visuals.

Over time, I realized that photography was not just about taking pictures, but about preserving emotions, memories, and perspectives that often go unnoticed. That realization pushed me to study light, composition, and technique, transforming a hobby into a craft.

What started as a personal passion has now become my profession—one where I get to connect with people, explore new places, and share stories through my lens.

I strongly believe photography is a team effort, especially when working on editorial or commercial projects. I collaborate closely with picture editors to understand the creative vision, align with the publication’s style, and ensure that every image supports the story being told.

From planning concepts to delivering final images, I value clear communication, flexibility, and attention to detail. I welcome constructive feedback and adapt quickly, ensuring that my work not only reflects my artistic perspective but also meets editorial standards and deadlines.

For me, working with picture editors is an opportunity to refine ideas, push creative boundaries, and produce visuals that truly resonate with the intended audience.

Beyond capturing images, I also take care to ensure that every caption accurately reflects the story behind the photograph. I review, edit, and approve captions for clarity, correctness, and context—so that each image communicates not only visually, but also through precise and reliable information.

This attention to detail helps maintain editorial integrity, strengthens storytelling, and ensures that both visuals and text work together seamlessly.

I am available for single assignments and always prepared to travel when needed. Whether it’s a local project or an international commission, I bring flexibility, adaptability, and professionalism to every assignment. I understand the importance of being ready on short notice and ensure that I travel prepared—with the right equipment, mindset, and logistical planning—to deliver quality results anywhere my work takes me.

When shooting and uploading, I work with a clear awareness of the target market and audience. Every image is created and delivered with purpose—whether it’s for editorial, commercial, or digital use—ensuring it aligns with industry standards and resonates with its intended viewers.

I pay close attention to current trends, brand identity, and publication needs, while also maintaining timeless quality in my work. From file preparation to final uploads, I make sure images are optimized, accessible, and ready for immediate use.

I believe strong photography goes hand in hand with strong relationships. I work to build and sustain long-term partnerships with public relations teams, understanding their goals and aligning my work to support brand identity, media strategy, and storytelling needs.

By maintaining clear communication, meeting deadlines, and consistently delivering high-quality visuals, I aim to be a trusted collaborator who PR professionals can rely on to represent their clients and campaigns effectively.

I photograph a wide range of assignments, with experience covering entertainment, Wedding, news, and fashion events. From fast-paced red carpet moments to live performances, press conferences, and runway shows, I bring adaptability and precision to every setting.

My goal is to capture not only the energy and atmosphere of each event, but also the key moments that define its story — producing images that are impactful, timely, and ready for editorial or commercial use.
