Atharva Commercial Photographers

We’ve been here at Dhareswar Apartment for a while now. It’s right across from the Dhareshwar Mangal Karyalaya on Sinhagad Road. Most people know the spot in Dhayri Phata because of the big hall. We spend a lot of our time setting up lights and making sure the lenses are clean. Commercial photography is mostly just a lot of waiting for the right shot and then moving things around until they look okay. It gets busy during certain months, especially when local businesses need new pictures for their catalogs or websites. Sometimes the traffic on Sinhagad Road makes it hard for people to find us, but once they get to Apartment No. 5, it’s pretty quiet. We don’t have a big fancy lobby or anything like that. It’s just a workspace where we get things done. We usually have cameras all over the place and a few tripods leaning against the walls. My coffee gets cold before I can finish it most mornings because something always needs adjusting. It is just me and a couple of others here. We handle the editing and the shoots ourselves. People stop by to talk about what they need, and we just figure out a time that works for everyone. There isn’t much more to it than that. We just show up every day and take photos of products or whatever else comes through the door. It’s a job like any other, but we like it well enough.
