Nitesh Mishra Photography

Started at P-20 Sector-11 a while back. It’s right near Metro Hospital. Sometimes the sirens are loud, but we got used to it. The studio isn’t huge, but it works for what we do. Nitesh usually handles the camera stuff. It’s mostly just us here every morning. We drink some tea, check the batteries, and wait for people to show up. Photography is just about looking at things right. It’s not fancy. We have some lights and a couple of backdrops that we move around depending on what someone wants. The walls are a bit plain, but that’s fine for the photos. People from the neighborhood come in for all sorts of things. Sometimes it’s just a passport photo, other times it’s something bigger. We don’t really do much advertising. People just see the sign or hear from someone else. It gets busy during the wedding season, then it's a lot of editing on the old computer. The screen is a bit bright at night. We try to keep things organized but sometimes the cables get tangled up on the floor. It’s a job like any other. We show up, take the pictures, and try to make sure everything looks okay before printing. The printer has a mind of its own sometimes. We’ve been in Sector-11 for a good amount of time now. The hospital makes it easy to find us if you’re new to the area. It gets hot in the summer when the AC struggles, but we manage.
