(Part II)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Here’s part II as promised and it features my favourite photos of some of the school’s incredible acting talent in costume for in-house productions and presentations. Honestly, I could have shot hundreds more as there was always someone in costume. However, I was in training as well and I could never do both acting and photography simultaneously because for me they are both completely consuming art forms. On the days I had a camera in my bag, my photographer’s mind would remain switched on...]]></description><link>https://www.ankursabharwal.com/post/portraits-in-the-meadow-at-the-oxford-school-of-drama-part-ii</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a19bc94145da5e38309cf32</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 16:28:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fa9ef1_28112499a9124bbea9e1835887246b6c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_933,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ankur Sabharwal</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes a good headshot/portrait?]]></title><description><![CDATA[I was chatting with someone today and that person had happened to have a look at some of my work. He said something quite simple that resonated with me and the way I think about my work. Perhaps even gave me an insight into what people may be looking for in a headshot (or portrait) photographer.   He said, and I paraphrase, “Your photos give me a sense that you make it more about the person you are photographing rather than trying to showcase your technique or style.”   Since I started doing...]]></description><link>https://www.ankursabharwal.com/post/what-makes-a-good-headshot-portrait</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a13f03ad681fe01d167b81e</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 06:55:48 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fa9ef1_4420894d57b74dc590e1dc52b552684f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ankur Sabharwal</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why I love portraits.]]></title><description><![CDATA[My first serious foray into photography happened when I was studying it as part of my post graduate study in mass communication in India.   My first "proper" camera. It was a used Minolta SR T-101 and I shot everything with it.
