Manohar Kudidala Photography

My name is Manohar Kudidala and I do photography here in Bangalore. I don’t have a big fancy studio with lights and backdrops everywhere. I mostly just take my camera out to wherever the work is. Bangalore is a big city and there is always something to take pictures of, whether it's a small family gathering or something else happening in the streets. I’ve lived here a long time and I know my way around the different neighborhoods pretty well. My work is quite simple. I just try to capture things as they look. I don't use a lot of those heavy editing tools or try to make things look like they are in a glossy magazine. It’s just honest photos of people and places. Sometimes I work late hours, especially when there are events going on in the city. The traffic in Bangalore can be a real pain when I’m trying to get to a job on time, but I usually manage to get there. I started doing this because I liked cameras, and now it’s just what I do every day. I don’t have a big team or anyone helping me, it’s mostly just me. I keep my gear in a bag and go where I’m needed. It’s a decent way to spend the day, seeing different parts of the city and meeting new people. I'm just a local photographer trying to do a job.
