Sagar Sachdeva Photography

I run Sagar Sachdeva Photography out of Nehru Enclave in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow. It’s a nice enough area, and R-1 75 is the house where I live and work. I turned part of the building into a studio space. It’s not a huge commercial building, just a place where I keep my cameras, lights, and some backdrops. I spend a lot of time sitting at my computer editing photos until my eyes hurt. Photography is funny because people think it’s all about the clicking, but it’s mostly about the waiting and the fixing things later. I’ve lived in Lucknow for a long time, and I like shooting around the city when I can. When people come to the house for a shoot, I try to make them feel comfortable, though it’s just a regular room. I don't have a big staff, it’s mostly just me doing everything from the shooting to the billing. Sometimes my dog barks when the doorbell rings, which can be a bit unprofessional, but that's life. It’s a very home-based feel. I don't use much marketing, mostly just people seeing my work on their friends' walls or social media. Gomti Nagar is getting bigger every day, so there’s always something new happening nearby. I’m not trying to be some world-famous artist. I just like taking pictures that look real and decent. If you need a photo, you come over and we get it done. No fancy talk here. Just a guy with a camera.
