Portrait Photography – Shreya and Vibhu

Shreya and Vibhu are yet another wonderful couple that I recently had the opportunity to work with. The entire experience was a pleasure, and good fun for everyone involved. We spent approximately 4 hours together, during our session.

The previous couple that I had a session with suggested that a good location for beach photography is Sandringham Beach. We decided to take their advice, and, as it turns out, they were right on the money.

Portrait Photography – Divya and Karan

Karan and Divya are a wonderful couple. Karan himself is, in fact, a photography aficionado, and conversations on the topic lead this photo shoot.

I have made a lot of portraits, as long as I have been doing photography, and each person that stands before my lens is a new experience. As long as there is trust, and comfort, between the photographer, and his, or her, subject, the end result will always be interesting.
