We are grateful to have Seshu photograph both of our daughters. Most recently, our younger daughter participated in Project 06001, and the photographs Seshu took are fantastic. His composition and eye for detail makes us excited to proudly display his work. Thank you Seshu. We will work with you again!

Having Seshu photograph both of my son's on several occasions over the past few years has been a wonderfully rewarding experience for not only them but me as well. From athletics, to the arts, to their community service projects, he had an amazing ability to capture the essence of them both in a natural and incredibly relaxed way. Seshu is a compassionate and conscientious photographer who takes his time, makes you feel comfortable and goes the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcome.
He offers suggestions with regard to positioning, lighting and backgrounds and takes them as well. The quality of his photos/final products are truly worth the time and effort he puts into creating them. Having worked with other photographers over the years I can honestly say Seshu has a passion for his craft like no other.

I can not say enough about project 06001. my son Jackson n daughter Mia were so lucky to have been a part of it. When I say we had the time of our lives at the photo shoot I am not joking. he is so wonderful w kids it was so fun to watch him capture them doing their favorite things, playing soccer and dressing as a princess! Each photo he took captured their personalities in such an amazing way! The final product brought me to tears. These are pictures we will display and treasure forever. thank you

Seshu did an absolutely masterful job of capturing our family and our home and we could not be more pleased with the artwork we will treasure forever. He has a unique way of putting everyone at ease. Knowing that none of us are professional models, he has a way to make you feel like you are the most important subject he has ever worked with. His prints are stunning and a true joy to display. I was able to post digital copies to my Facebook page and I was totally surprised to see the reaction from my friends and family.
These photographs provided more comments than any other post I have made in the last 12 years. Everyone loved them as much as we did. Our session was also during Covid-19 and Seshu followed all the protocols to make us feel incredibly safe and comfortable working with him during this time. We would also like to give a special shoutout to his able assistant Ketan, who was equally as professional and a true pleasure to work with. If you want quality photographs with unparalleled composition, vibrancy and realism, that can only come from a master craftsperson, look no further.

Seshu was very professional and checked in when he arrived to confirm the types of photos we were looking for to capture our luminary event. He was friendly with everyone, kept a safe social distance from our volunteers, and spent 3 hours taking fantastic photos of our event. This was a wonderful experience all around, and Seshu took photos that captured our event perfectly. Thank you, Seshu!
