Shashi Kiran Photography

Our place, Shashi Kiran Photography, is tucked away in Eden Bagh. If you know where Ramkote is, you probably know the lane opposite the A.P Mahila Vardhman Bank. That’s where we are. It’s a bit of an old-school area of Hyderabad, and we like that about it. We’ve been at 4-1-1 /16&17 for years now. The shop is small and full of frames and old samples. We don’t change things around much. People in the neighborhood just drop by when they have a function or need some photos done for a school form. We keep our cameras ready and usually have some chai while we wait for customers. It’s not a high-pressure environment here. We just take the pictures, print them out, or send them over. Sometimes we go out to help at weddings in the local halls around Ramkote. It’s a lot of standing around and watching for people smiling. We don’t use a lot of big words or try to sell people stuff they don’t need. It’s just photography. The bank across the street is a good landmark because people always get lost in these lanes. We know most of the shopkeepers around here too. It’s a tight community. We just do our work, keep our equipment clean, and wait for the next person to walk in. It’s been our routine for a long time and we don't plan on changing how we operate.
