Wedding Photography - SecondThoughts Essentials


With the ongoing wedding season and the number of mails I've received about the wedding photography packages I offer, I thought it would be a good idea to do a post on the same.

Choosing a wedding photographer can be a long process but mostly it's a confusing one! While you've got multiple options to choose from, you also have to make sure your requirements are met. In short, finalizing 'the photographer' for your big day seems to be quite a task, right? Well, not necessarily.

Here's an attempt to give you a glimpse of what's on offer at @secondthoughts.co depending on what you need :) And if not as quick, selecting the package* of your choice is at least as simple as choosing the right size of a cup of your favorite brew!





To learn more, drop in a mail at ananya@secondthoughts.co. You can also find me on twitter by this handle - @currymean

*WeddingPhotography packages start at Rs. 25,000.

and here's to Diwali :)

Light creates magic. Period. 
So as Diwali is another day closer, I thought it would be quite apt to put this up on my blog.

While I might not believe in celebrating the festival of lights by bursting noisy crackers, I do love the fact that everything's bright and lit up :) The diyas, rangolis, colourful lights, everything just adds to the festivity.

So what you'll find below is my *ahem* tribute of sorts to this dazzling festival called Diwali.


 The first four images are photographs of the Diwali decoration, here at my building.





 The images you'll see below are street lights, captured from my room's balcony. I fell in love with my 35mm and light, all over again!









I'm hoping you'll have fun viewing these since I had quite a bit of fun while shooting :D And considering it's all festive all around, I'm in the mood to share the joy :)

So, happy viewing and a Happier Diwali! :)

when at work...play!

Lucky me! There's been a lot of shooting in the past month and a half :) Good days, bad days, always chaotic days. So, I guess a break from the routine does no harm right?

Which is why I decided that instead of posting images from all the product photography I did last month, I'll start off with some behind the scenes fun first! 

With my friend turned model  @IshitaMisra



We were pretty much trying everything under the sun and when I say 'under the sun' I mean it!


From being the jumping jack to hanging upside down to body art (!), there's really very little that my very enthu model didn't do!



umm,  okay so it's not quite art but you got the point!


While all the images in this post are only from the first day of the project, it was by far the most fun and least stressful day! All thanks to my friend here, who also happens to be a photographer herself. So, cheers to Miss Craziness, Ishita :) I love you!

A little about me

Using photography as a means to express and escape, I make photographs out of fleeting emotions, unmoved mountains, the sound of silence and the noise in city streets.
