Mahesh Shantaram
I'm widely known for my honest and fresh approach to Indian wedding photography. I use two prime lenses in my work: a sense of humour and a sense of humanity. Drawing from the rich traditions of documentary photography, the need to tell stories using pictures is the basis of all that I do in life, whether as an artist, photography instructor, or wedding photographer.
