Villa Shekhar Photography

Villa Shekhar Photography is tucked away in Navaratna, specifically at 11-3-362/11/A in Srinivas Nagar. Secunderabad has a lot of little streets, and we’ve been in this particular corner for a good while. The space is filled with cameras, tripods, and old frames leaning against the walls. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes when we have a lot of equipment out, but it’s our space. We spend hours looking at screens and sorting through files. It’s not a glamorous setup like you see in movies. There’s usually some dust on the shelves and a pile of bags near the door. We’ve lived and worked in this area long enough to know the neighbors by name. Srinivas Nagar is a quiet enough place most of the time, which helps when we need to concentrate. We don't really do the whole corporate image thing. We just show up, do the work, and go home. Sometimes we stay late when a project is taking a lot of time. The lighting in the studio is something we’re always messing with to get it right. It’s a practical place for someone who likes taking pictures. You won't find any fancy waiting rooms here. It’s just a working studio where things get done. We enjoy the routine of it all. Each day is a bit different depending on what needs to be photographed. Usually, the neighbors drop by for a chat while we are packing up. It feels like a small part of the local community here.
