About
I’m passionate about capturing moments as they naturally unfold, whether it’s the beauty of wildlife, the energy of travel, or the genuine connections shared at events.
I love working with individuals and small groups who value authentic, candid photography. My goal is to create images that feel real, personal, and meaningful, photos that allow you to relive the moment every time you look back on them.
Through my work, I aim to tell thoughtful stories through honest imagery and attention to detail. This portfolio showcases some of my favorite experiences behind the lens so far, and I’m always excited to explore new opportunities to collaborate and create something meaningful together.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is enthusiastic, creative, and dedicated to capturing genuine moments, I’d love to connect.

Words can’t even express how grateful we are to Shyam! He captured our proposal so perfectly and made what could have been a nerve-wracking moment feel completely natural and seamless. Shyam was amazing with communication leading up to the big moment, helping discreetly coordinate the timing and location so everything went off without a hitch. The photos turned out absolute magic—the emotion, light, and candid reactions were captured so beautifully. We will cherish these pictures for the rest of our lives. If you need a photographer for a proposal or special moment, hire him immediately!

Very friendly and accommodating! We were in town for a week and had 3 other photographers cancel due to various reasons. Shyam was able to get us in at the last minute and despite the scattered showers and wind, he was able to photograph our family! Highly recommend!

Shyam goes above and beyond. We were doing a last minute maternity photoshoot and he was very flexible and accommodating with our last mini request. Additionally he not only edited the contracted amount, he gave us a lot more edited photos as well and they all look amazing!

Shyam is a wonderful photographer!!! He came to shoot for my sister’s engagement and the pictures are so great. He was on time, professional, and even flexible on poses and other pictures we wanted specifically. He was also okay with staying longer if we had needed. I highly recommend hiring Shyam for anything, posed and candids he does a great job with all! :) 10/10 highly recommend and would hire again.
