Nikhil Shastri

HELLO. I’M NIKHIL SHASTRI AND I’M A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN BANGALORE, INDIA.
I live in Bangalore, India with my wife, an 18 month old Shih-Tzu who thinks he is the alpha, and my 16 month old daughter who is the alpha.
15 years ago, I found my dads camera in the closet (gathering dust) and it piqued my interest. Spent a summer roaming the streets and learning the art only to shun it back into the closet while I finished my degree in Engineering. 8 years, a couple of boring jobs, I shot a friend’s wedding. That was my initiation into the world of wedding photography. I quit my then job 6 months on and here I am. I’ve been shooting for 4+ years, documenting weddings and portrait sessions in some of the most incredibly gorgeous little corners of India and the World and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

TESTIMONIAL

My travels and my documentary work involves interacting with people and being unobtrusive while also keeping weight and bulk of my equipment to a minimum. All these factors combined with excellent image characteristics made me jump into the Fuji system with the X100S in 2013. Over the next few years, I travelled extensively with it and eventually, completely switched form DSLRs to the Fujifilm Mirrorless system. I now use them exclusively for all my work. For me the X System gets out the way and allows the photographer to actualize the vision while at the same time provides the quality and technological support needed for professional work. The design and usability makes the cameras invisible and helps it to gel well with documentary and travel photography to the point that I think it becomes an extension of the eye.
