In the evolving landscape of Indian fashion photography, Bangalore-based photographer Dheeraj Cukke is steadily emerging as a distinctive creative force known for his refined runway imagery and editorial storytelling. Originally from Mysore, Karnataka, Dheeraj has developed a strong reputation through his disciplined approach, visual precision, and ability to transform fashion into impactful narratives.
His growing portfolio includes major fashion platforms such as Bangalore Fashion Week, Bangalore Times Fashion Week, Mysore Times Fashion Week, Heritage Runway Show, and several designer showcases across South India. Recognized for capturing movement, garment detailing, stage energy, and expressions with editorial finesse, Dheeraj’s work reflects a modern and cinematic approach to fashion photography.
Expanding beyond runway photography, he has also worked on fashion editorials, luxury couture projects, commercial campaigns, and celebrity features. One of his recent productions, A Vision of Timeless Fashion, featuring South Indian model Sahana, highlighted elegance, sophistication, and premium visual storytelling through carefully curated imagery.
The project brought together a talented creative team including Akashay Rao and Click Basya (Bhaskar) for editorial finishing, Rahul CR for cinematic videography, Shruthagowda for makeup artistry, Shalini Mahadev for hairstyling, and Chaitrashree, who contributed as both a stylist and an important member of the creative team. Recently, Abhishek Gowda & mayank Chauhan joined the production network, marking another promising addition to Dheeraj’s growing team.
Supporting the brand’s expanding digital presence is Chaithyana Sudhakar, a runway model who also manages and curates Dheeraj Cukke’s Instagram platform. Alongside her work in fashion, she plays a key role in strengthening the brand’s online identity, creative coordination, and audience engagement through social media.
With international publication exposure across India, Paris, New York, France, and Denmark, and a growing digital reach through @dheeraj.cukke, Dheeraj Cukke continues to establish himself among the promising names shaping the future of contemporary Indian fashion photography.
