Enduring Bliss...
“Istarted out as a photographer at a young age of 13. It was my father who introduced me to photography by teaching me the basics of still photography. Currently I am still studying computer engineering, but wedding photography is what interests and challenges me the most. Besides that, I love shooting portraits and tabletops too. I have won 11 local and state level awards at different photo competitions under various categories. I am also a video editor and have worked on many Gujarati music albums and short films”, said Shreenath Solanki, a Gujarat-based photographer.
He further reveals that his father, Mayur Solanki, is one of the most respected photographers in the Saurashtra region and the owner of Studio Aakruti. This made his transition into wedding photography all the more easy. He is aware of what it takes to be a wedding photographer, and how to capture the different moments in a couple’s journey. This is because he understands the importance of documenting the feelings, emotions and happiness that a couple cherishes the most on the D- day of their life. According to him, wedding portraits remain one of the most valued possession that a couple treasures. He believes that every image evokes a different emotion which gets preserved for generations to come.
Shreenath started photography with a Canon f- 1 film camera. Professionally he started his career with Canon 350D, and Nikon D70. Currently, he uses the Canon 5D and 5D MarkII bodies with a wide range of lenses, that includes a 20 mm f/ 2.8, a 24- 70 f/ 2.8, a 70- 200 f/ 2.8, a 50 mm f/ 1.4, and a 100mm macro f/ 2.8, with prolinchrom studio light and aperture wireless trans radio triggmaster with Canon 580 ex- 2 flash light.
