Gilbert Luwang Fotografie

Gilbert Luwang Fotografie is based right in the heart of New Delhi. I started this because I always liked taking pictures of things around me, and it eventually turned into a real job. Delhi is a busy place, and there’s always something happening on the streets that’s worth catching on camera. I spend a lot of my time walking around different neighborhoods or sitting in my small workspace going through files. It’s not a fancy studio with all those expensive lights you see in movies, but it gets the job done for the people who come to me. Sometimes the traffic makes it hard to get to appointments on time, but that’s just how it is living here. I mostly do photos for local events, families, or just individuals who need a decent portrait. People often find me through word of mouth or by just seeing me out and about with my gear. I try to keep things simple and not overcomplicate the shots. There’s a lot of dust and noise in the city, but it adds a certain look to the photos that you can’t really get anywhere else. I don't use a lot of fancy editing stuff either, just enough to make things look clear. It’s a lot of work, especially during the wedding season when everyone wants their pictures done at once. I just keep my head down and keep clicking. It’s a good way to see the city from a different perspective every single day.
