Sumith Shantraj
Biography
Photography found me at a time when I was searching for a way to express what words couldn't capture. What began as a fascination with light and shadow has evolved into a lifelong passion for telling stories through images that matter. My relationship with photography started during my college days in Bengaluru, when I borrowed a friend's camera to document a local cultural festival. That first click—capturing the pure joy on a dancer's face—changed everything.
I believe that every photograph should tell a story—not just document an event, but capture the essence of a moment. Whether I'm photographing a CEO's portrait or a wedding celebration, I'm always looking for that authentic connection, that genuine expression that reveals character. My approach is rooted in patience and observation, where professionalism meets authenticity and technical skill serves emotional truth.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with incredible clients across Bengaluru and beyond. Each project has taught me something new about human nature, about light, about storytelling. I've learned that the best photographs emerge from genuine collaboration—when I understand not just what my clients need, but why it matters to them.
