Kapoor Photo Store

You can find us at Kapoor Photo Store on the first floor over in Kucha Chaudhary. It’s at number 25-26, if you are looking for the exact spot. Being on the first floor means people have to walk up those narrow stairs, which can be a bit of a climb if they are carrying heavy bags. We’ve been here in Chandni Chowk for a long time, and the building itself shows its age. The walls are a bit cracked in places, and the ceiling is quite high, which makes it hard to change the light bulbs. We have a lot of stuff crammed into this space—cameras, tripods, and boxes of photo albums stacked up in the corners. It gets pretty dusty because of all the construction always happening nearby, so we spend a lot of time wiping things down. From the window, you can look down at the street and see all the people rushing around Kucha Chaudhary. It’s a specialized area for photo stuff, so we know most of the other shop owners around here. We usually share a pot of tea in the afternoons when things quiet down a little bit. It’s not a modern studio with white walls and fancy lights; it’s more like a workshop where things actually happen. We just keep things moving and try to keep track of all the orders. The work is steady and the location keeps us busy enough throughout the day.
