With a saturation of visualisations of Benares as an orientalist fantasy, Sahil presents the city in a way one rarely witnesses it, as a backdrop for Kunal Rawal’s occasion menswear collection in collaboration with Ekaya. Rid of the cliché one is accustomed to, Behal’s vision breaks the monotony of men’s fashion photography by reimagining a […]

To complement the gender fluid clothing designed by Oshin Sarin, Sahil creates a visual language of vintage minimalism. In casting two male models, contrasted with the softness of physical touch and light play, Behal’s imagery reflects the sense of freedom offered by the garments.

Stringing a thread through the many fragments and elements of India to weave together a festive campaign conceptualised for the contemporary, Little Things Studio’s collection celebrated the divinity of the country. An ode to the goddess, with mogra-decked hair and flowing silhouettes, the shoot set outdoors made the occasion of grandeur sit snugly besides an […]

Recognised for his defined portraiture, Sahil Behl has photographed the cover images for a range of editorials from Masaba Gupta for Vogue to Ranveer Singh  for GQ.

In a project titled ‘Another World’, in collaboration with Divya Saini, Sahil unravelled the quiet intimacy of two strangers from alien worlds who found themselves drawn together in love. The warmth emanating from the imagery echoes the longing of the two unfamiliar lovers.

For Gundi Studios, a label that reclaims the title bestowed upon outspoken South Asian women, Sahil brings out the spirit of the community in all its brash, beautiful glory. Conceptualised in a minimal setting, with the edginess of the clothing presenting a stark contrast, a juxtaposition ensues in the mind of the viewer.

A bustling cityscape is ever characterised by movement. In a campaign for Lovebirds titled ‘On the go’, Sahil captured this constant state of dynamism in which people of a city are seen spilling in and out of the spaces they inhabit. Shot on film, in locations spread across the metropolis of New Delhi, the urgency […]

In a campaign titled ‘The Fall of Man’, drawing inspiration from Joseph Campbell’s ‘The Power of Myth’, Sahil conceptualised a post-apocalyptic myth of a queer inter-religious couple on a romantic walk round contemporary Mumbai. The visuals of the shoot depict goddess Kali and her lover Buraq in Indian-inspired streetwear, holding hands as couples do, taking […]

In bringing to life a capsule collection for Bodice, Sahil envisioned a minimal, organic shoot to complement the airy, bright quality of the clothing. Shot in a studio setting in broad daylight, the clean simplicity of the frames and Behal’s characteristic light play elevate a multitude of  textures and a lightness of mood in the […]
