About me

Hi, I'm Shankar. I have been photographing people for over ten years, and I still get nervous in the best way before every session.

I started with a secondhand film camera and a habit of photographing my grandparents' kitchen. That habit turned into a career built on one idea: the best photos happen when people forget they are being photographed.

My approach is calm and unhurried. We talk first, I give simple direction, and then I step back and let things happen. You get natural light, honest expressions, and a gallery you will actually print.

When I'm not shooting, I'm usually hiking with my dog, developing film at home, or looking for the next great coffee shop.
