Mahesh Shantaram You can trust me to capture those fleeting moments—funny, silly, dramatic—to tell the story of your big day. Nothing too posed or cheesy. No text-book tricks or outrageous effects.  Just pure story-telling through real moments that matter. That's my promise!  Playful by nature, and yet very serious about what I do, I've found my voice in photography; I create images that sing.

This is what I do Wasting away in a cubicle in Washington, DC, I decided enough is enough, and went to Paris to study photography. When I returned to India in 2006, it was immediately apparent to me that the Indian wedding photography market needed some ventilation (to put it mildly). I took it upon myself to breathe fresh air into the art of documenting Indian weddings.

This is how I do it Get close—really close—to the action. What I'm really there for is the cerebral act of making keen and positive observations in telling the story of the day.  I use two prime lenses in my work: a sense of humour and a sense of humanity.  Seriously. Have you seen my portfolio?

More about me? I've travelled to as many countries as there are years in my age. In all those years, I've never driven a car... but was once compelled by circumstances to drive a Volvo bus. My all-time favourite song has got to be Leave A Tender Moment Alone.

Be sure to check out the interview in Wedding Sutra where I talk about my unique approach to Indian wedding photography.
