The First Chapter

Hombale means new beginnings — and this is ours. Chapter I is a limited fine-art series: ten founding couples, photographed during our launch window in Bangalore, each becoming a chapter in the book this practice will keep for years.

Our angle is simple: craft over casting. You do not need to be models. Light, composition, direction, and grade are our work — being yourselves is yours. Every couple becomes a beautiful frame.

When the ten chapters are written, this series closes.

Questions, Answered

Q.How soon do we receive our story?

Seven days from the shoot — the complete curated set of stills and your one-minute film, together.

Q.What exactly is included?

Around thirty fine-art-edited photographs in our signature grade, one one-minute vertical film set to a song you choose, and the direction, light, and composition that make them. The set is curated with intention — every frame earns its place.

Q.Do we get all the raw files?

No — and deliberately so. This is a curated fine-art edit, not a raw-file dump. We keep the frames that tell your story truly and finish each one by hand.

Q.What about venue permits and entry fees?

Venue or permit fees (for example at Nandi Hills or heritage properties) are billed at actuals — we arrange the paperwork, you pay only what the venue charges.
