Asm Photography

Asm Photography is set up in Satguru Apartments over in the B Ward of Kolhapur, specifically in Mangalwar Peth. We are at number 2671. It is an apartment that we turned into a bit of a studio space. We have been here for a good while, taking photos of people from all over the city. Kolhapur is a place where traditions matter, so we do a lot of family portraits and wedding shoots. The rooms are filled with backdrops, some lights on stands, and plenty of camera gear lying around. It can get a bit messy when we have a big group coming in for a shoot. We spend hours sitting in front of computer screens editing the pictures, which is the part people do not see. The lighting in the apartment is okay, but we mostly rely on our own lamps to get the look right. Mangalwar Peth is a busy area, so there is always noise from the street coming through the windows. We do not have a big sign outside, just a small one near the entrance. Most of the people who come to us are locals who live nearby or found us through word of mouth. We do not do much fancy stuff, just honest photography. Sometimes the kids we photograph are grumpy, and sometimes the weddings are chaotic, but that is just how the job goes. It is a small, family-run kind of setup in a regular residential building.
