Kaustubh Photography

We started Kaustubh Photography a while back here in Saujana Apartment. It is in Badlapur East, right near the station road, so it gets pretty noisy with all the trains and people rushing by all day long. My desk is usually covered in memory cards and some old lenses that need cleaning. Being so close to the station means we see a lot of faces every day. The apartment itself is okay, just a normal building where we set up our backdrops and lights in the main room. Sometimes the light from the window is good, but mostly we use the big lamps because the weather changes so much. It’s mostly just us here working on edits and waiting for the next person to knock. We spent a lot of time figuring out how to make the small space work for bigger groups. It isn't a fancy studio with a big sign, just a place where we do our work and drink a lot of tea. My brother helps out with the printing sometimes. We have been in this part of Badlapur for years now and know most of the shopkeepers around the station road. It is a bit cramped when we have lots of gear out, but we manage. People usually find us because they live in the same building or walk past on their way to the train. It’s just a regular photography spot for anyone around here.
