Gentle frames, lasting impressions

 

What my clients say

 

Graduate in black robe and green Sacramento State stole poses on bridge at dusk.

"I'm not really a photos person — I'd been putting off booking grad pictures because I figured I'd stand there stiff in a gown feeling awkward for an hour. Chand was the opposite of that. He told me what to wear beforehand so I didn't have to think about it, and when we met on campus he spent the first few minutes just conversing with me. By the time he actually started shooting, I'd forgotten to be nervous. He'd walk, point at some steps or a spot with good light, say 'fix your stole,' and keep the conversation going. When the gallery came back I kept scrolling thinking, this is actually me — relaxed, not the forced-smile version from every photo I've ever taken. If you're on the fence because you hate being photographed, that's exactly why you should book him."
