Hug Photography

We’ve been here in Singanallur for a while now. The studio is over at 17A Vivekanada Nagar 2nd Street. It’s not a huge place, but we make it work for whatever comes through the door. Mostly, we spend our days looking through lenses and trying to get people to stand still for a second. It's funny how kids never want to look at the camera when you need them to, and then they won't stop when you're done. We take a lot of photos of weddings around here and sometimes just small family portraits. The light in the morning is usually the best, so we try to get out early if we’re doing stuff outdoors. Our cameras are good, but it's really more about being in the right spot at the right time. Sometimes the equipment gets dusty and we have to spend hours cleaning everything up. We started out just because we liked taking pictures of friends and then it turned into this business. People come by the street, see our sign, and just pop in to ask about prices or dates. We don't have a big fancy reception area, just some chairs and our favorite prints on the walls so folks can see what we do. It gets busy during the marriage season and then it's a bit quieter other times. We just keep doing what we do, day by day, making sure the focus is sharp and the colors look right before we hand over the final prints.
