Abhinav Mehrotra Photography

I’ve been running my photography work out of Koramangala here in Bangalore for a while. It’s a great area to be in because there is so much life and color everywhere you look. My setup is pretty simple; I have my cameras, some lights, and a big computer where I spend way too many hours editing photos. It’s not a massive studio with a dozen employees, it’s just me and sometimes an assistant if it’s a big project. I handle all sorts of shoots, whether it's people or products, and I usually have gear spread out all over the floor when I’m in the middle of a job. Koramangala has some nice spots for outdoor shots too, so I’m often out and about with my bag over my shoulder. I don't really like the formal corporate style of photography; I prefer things to look real and a bit more natural. My office space usually has coffee mugs sitting around and prints pinned to the walls. It’s a bit of a creative mess, but I know exactly where everything is. People usually find me through word of mouth or by seeing my work online. I spend a lot of time checking the light and making sure the frames look right. It’s a lot of work that people don’t see, like backups and color grading. I just enjoy the process of taking a good picture and seeing the final result.
