LEARN ON THE GO!
Gouthami is a food and product photographer based in Chennai. She says “My photographic journey began in 2015 with the birth of my son, which is when I got my first camera to capture memories of my newborn. In 2018, I quit my IT job to be a full time mother. However, I continued blogging and posting my work on social media. That’s when a potential customer noticed my work on Facebook and I got my first project. So far, I have worked with several clients who deal with food products and skin care products. I work in my home studio, where I have access to my lighting equipment and props. As for my favourite photographic style, it’s minimalism. I love creating minimal still life images. I also like to try different lighting techniques. Finally, photography is something that makes me truly happy and I enjoy doing it every day. I am a self taught photographer and I love watching photography tutorials all day.”
