Discover the original expression of Indian wedding photographer, Mahesh Shantaram. He never fails to highlight and poke gentle fun at the quirkiness of being Indian with his characteristic photography toned with a slap of humor and a dash of humanity. Mahesh began his career as a wedding photographer in the IT capital of India, Bangalore, in 2006 when he had returned after completing a photography diploma from Paris. He experimented with applying the craft of photojournalism to Indian weddings. Mahesh has had the pleasure and privilege of witnessing weddings across India, and those of Indians from across the world. His role is to preserve the personal stories of young men and women, their families, their aspirations, dreams and desires to come together as one.
