Anita Studio

I’ve been running Anita Studio here in Kailash Nagar for a long time now. We are tucked away near the Sai Baba Mandir, which makes it easy for people to find us even if they aren't from this exact part of town. The address is 200033, and it’s a pretty simple setup. I spend most of my mornings cleaning off the glass on the frames and making sure the camera batteries are charged up. It’s a small shop, but it gets the job done for the neighborhood. Folks come in for all sorts of things, like passport photos or just a nice picture of their kids to hang on the wall. Sometimes I can hear the bells from the mandir while I’m working, which is quite nice actually. The shelves are a bit crowded with old sample albums and frames that have been there for years. I don’t go in for all that modern, flashy decor you see in the big city malls. This is a local place for local people. I try to keep the lighting simple so people look like themselves and not some filtered version. It’s just me and maybe one other person helping out when things get busy during wedding season. We do the printing right here in the back room, so you don’t have to wait forever to get your photos back. It’s a quiet life, mostly, just clicking the shutter and talking to the neighbors who pop in to say hello.
