Keshav Photography

I run Keshav Photography here in Eluru. It’s a small operation, mostly just me and a couple of helpers when things get busy. I’ve lived in Eluru for a long time, so I know most of the neighborhoods and the best spots for taking pictures. I don't have a giant studio with tons of backdrops and expensive lights. Usually, I’m out at someone’s house or a local hall for a wedding or a function. I started out just taking photos of friends and family, and it eventually turned into this. I handle all sorts of events, from small birthday parties to bigger celebrations. In a place like Eluru, word travels fast, so I mostly get work because someone saw my photos at a friend’s place. I spend a lot of time sitting at my computer after the events, looking through hundreds of shots to find the ones that look natural. I don't like to over-edit things; I prefer the photos to look like how it actually was. Sometimes the lighting is bad or the weather doesn't help, but we make it work. It’s a lot of carrying heavy bags and standing on my feet for hours. I don't have a fancy website or a big office. People usually just call me on my phone or stop me when they see me around town. It’s a decent living and I like being part of people’s big days. I keep my camera gear ready in the corner. I often drink tea while editing.
