Abhijeet Singh Photography

I've been doing this for a while now here in Dehradun. It’s a nice place to live and work. Usually, I’m out with the camera or sitting at the desk looking at shots. People ask me why I started this, and honestly, I just like how a photo looks when you get it right. It’s not always easy, especially when the light isn’t doing what you want or the weather turns sour like it often does in the hills. My spot is right here in town. Sometimes the traffic is a mess, but that’s just how it is. I don't have a big fancy office with dozens of assistants. It’s mostly just me and a couple of others making sure everything is sorted. We spend a lot of time checking lenses and charging batteries. It’s a lot of manual work that people don’t see. Most days are long, starting early to catch the morning sun and ending late when the editing is finally done. I don't try to make things look like something they aren't. I just take the pictures of what's there. If someone needs a photo for a wedding or just a family thing, they come by. We talk, we figure out a time, and we go from there. It’s a simple way to make a living. I like being part of the community here and seeing familiar faces around the neighborhood. It keeps me going and gives me a reason to wake up early.
