Testimonials
Sujata was more than just a photographer for our brand- she was a stylist, scenologist, content specialist and social media ace and photographer all rolled into one. She understood our brands ethos and aesthetics really well and really went above and beyond to create imagery that really set the tone for our brands visuals and voice in the years to come. Which is why we have gone back to her multiple times and would highly recommend her for brands looking to really break through the clutter with their imagery. (Yosha Gupta- founder & CEO Memeraki)
