Hi! I’m Shashikiran from Moments of Virtue.

And, I’ll help you to savor the moments of your Indian wedding for a long time to come. So, if this is the question on your mind:

“How could I capture all those tender moments that would bubble up to portray my wedding as the beautiful, joyous event that it would be?”

you’ll find your answer in the posts of this blog and on my website. But first, have a look at the Gallery section for a collection of photographs from the weddings I have been to previously.

For more about me personally, here goes:

• I crave intellectual and emotional nourishment. I seem to have a ready and strong access to my emotions.
• I react the most to visual stimuli. Interpreting life through light interests me deeply.
• My greatest sense of fulfillment and meaning comes from putting people in states of Positive Flow.
• And, I like to figure things out. Conversations with me are like interrogations for the other guy; I barely do anything else apart from asking questions and processing the answers. I give into my curiosity easily.

More formally:

• I’m a trained computer software engineer, with graduate and post-graduate degrees in the field. As a result, I understand the technology that drives digital photography from the ground up.
• I’ve worked in big-ticket software companies, and for a couple of smaller ones, for a while now.

And, here’s why I’m into Indian wedding photography – my Mission Statement – if you want to call it that:

I do not consider myself to be in the business of wedding photography, but in the role of delivering empathy. I empathize with the suppressed, caring and compassionate sides of people, and attempt to capture them when they express this facet of their personalities without fear of reproach or censure. That is the reason I’m at weddings, camera in hand. To help them discover sides of themselves they haven’t paid attention too in a while.

There’s more about this here.
