Photo Studio

If you are looking for the Photo Studio, we are at 1-176 in Mala Gumpu, which is part of Komararam in Yellandu. It’s a small shop, mostly just one main room where we have the backdrop and the lights. We’ve got an old camera and a computer for the editing. It’s not one of those high-end studios with fancy digital screens everywhere. We do a lot of passport photos and pictures for local festivals. People come in dressed in their best clothes, and we try to get them to smile, which isn't always easy. The lighting can be tricky because the power fluctuates sometimes. We have a backup battery, but it doesn't last forever. The walls are covered with old photos we’ve taken over the years. Some are a bit faded now from the sun. It’s a quiet life here in Mala Gumpu. We see the same faces every day. When business is slow, we just sit outside on the bench and watch the world go by. It’s a tiny space, so if more than three people come in at once, it feels very full. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know we are here at 1-176. It’s been our little corner for a long time. We just keep taking pictures and printing them out for the neighbors who stop by. That is all we really do here every single day.
