The beauty is in the moment.

I pick up my camera to notice the details we pass by — a look, a gesture, the light in a room. Whether it's a portrait, a product or an important celebration, I want the photographs to feel unmistakably yours.

Hi, I'm Aswanth.

Born and raised in Chennai, now based in Kitchener, Ontario. What started as photographing friends in their element grew into a love for creating images that feel real and enduring.

I work across portraits, brands, products and events, bringing a designer’s eye for colour and composition to studio and outdoor shoots. I photograph across Canada and India.

Let’s create something together ↗

Good questions.

Which areas do you photograph in?

I'm based in Kitchener and shoot across Waterloo Region — Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph — with no travel fee. Toronto and the GTA are covered with a travel charge. I also welcome inquiries from India.

How long until I receive my photos?

Current estimated timelines are 7 days for portrait and newborn galleries, next business day for real estate, 48 hours for product work and 10–14 days for full event galleries. Timelines are confirmed with each quote.

How do I book a session?

Send your preferred date, location and project details. I'll confirm availability and scope before sharing a quote. Booking terms and payment arrangements are agreed before the shoot.

What should I wear to a portrait session?

Solid, muted colours tend to photograph well and keep the attention on you. Bring something comfortable and, if you like, a second outfit with a more elevated look.

Do you shoot video as well?

Yes — brand, event and real estate work can include a video component, from vertical reels to highlight edits. Include it in the brief so it can be quoted accurately.

Let's make
something real.
