Lightning Photo Studio

Lightning Photo Studio is a small shop located in Poonamallee. If you’re around the main market area, you’ve probably seen our sign. We do a bit of everything here, from those quick passport photos people need for their applications to taking pictures at local weddings. The studio itself is just one main room with some lights and a few different colored curtains we use for backgrounds. It’s often a bit cluttered with camera bags, tripods, and extra cables lying on the floor. Poonamallee is a loud and busy part of town, so there is always a lot of dust that we have to wipe off the lenses. We’ve been here for quite a while now. Most of our work comes from families in the neighborhood who know us by name. Sometimes the printer acts up right when we are in a hurry, which is a real pain, but we usually get it sorted out. We don’t have any fancy marketing or a big website. Most people just walk in because they saw the studio while passing by. In the evenings, it gets quite busy with students coming in after their classes. We spend a lot of time sitting at the old wooden desk out front, talking to customers about what kind of photos they want. It is a simple business, but it keeps us involved with the local community and we like that well enough. It’s just how we live and work here.
