Vihaan & his moods

Shots from photoshoot of cute Vihaan.. he is such a darling kid.. had great fun shooting...

A day @ Sri Sai Old Age Home

Did a shoot @ Sri Om Sai Old Age Home as part of Help-Portrait. It was a wonderful experience. And i personally consider this shoot as my most memorable one.

Had fantastic time... met 18 different people... got to know about 18 different families...18 different life stories... 18 different pain and sorrows... Some stories really got tears in my my eyes... :(

Life is so uncertain isn't it??? did any of these 18ppl ever thought that they will be living together under a common shelter????

Friends, lets give all our love to our elders.. they really DESERVE it ...

And i really appreciate Mr. Ravi Kumar who the backbone of the trust :)

Here are some clicks for those sweet people...

Deep in thoughts...

Kids Photography - Season 1

Few months back, i did a photo shoot for Mrs. Sharan Shetty's family and their cute little 2yrs old son Idhanth.

This was my first Pro-photo shoot. Kids have always been my fav topic, but they are very challenging too... All these day i just did it for fun & doing it as part of Profession is totally a different experience.

I choose Lalbagh, Bangalore as a location for shoot. Started the shoot in evening. The bright green grass, lovely back light, sprinkler, natural light, kids mood, everything was just so well complimenting for the shoot. I was quite lucky to get some really good shots. I did used strobe lights.

Here are some pics from the session.

Kambala Calendar for 2009

Kambala is back again....

Kambala race is more than 1000 years old. It’s basically a popular rural sport in the districts of Mangalore and Udupi in Karnataka. It’s is a traditional buffalo race in slush water, held from December till March. The contest generally takes place between two pairs of buffaloes, controlled by a whip -lashing farmer.
