let's get to know each other
My name is Bhaskar Kothapalli
People are highly emotional beings, and emotions, I believe are expressed in motion, be it a curl of the lip, the twitch of an eyebrow, tear-swelled eyes or a smile that is only seen in the warmth of the eyes. I am inspired by this quote where Karsh captures it beautifully and from experience.
“There is a brief moment when all there is in a man's mind and soul and spirit is reflected through his eyes, his hands, his attitude. This is the moment to record.” - Yousef Karsh
As a child I was obsessed with still life photography, as it offered me a lens into a person’s life. It also showed me that I could identify strong expression, and choose which emotions to capture and which to let go.
Down the lane, working with multiple corporate companies, I chose to explore working for a photography company and I did, for Canvera as a State Head and it was a head-long collision with state of the art equipment, photographers and well yeah, a boat load of imagery as I oversaw training of photographers on new technology, printing and design.
The satisfaction that came through with beautiful images captured at the right time without the aspect of intrusion, when no individual had to pose for the camera, and the smiles the images were able to pull off were enough reason for me to switch jobs and take photography seriously.
Weddings have been my focus, as they truly are the epitome of opportunity for imagery. Each image is a rendition and distinct from another, inviting viewers to relive what was. 500 weddings behind me, I am still a learner and I hope to perfect my craft each day.
When I am not away from work, I love to travel, hangout with friends and enjoy a personable conversation. After all, conversations are what make us human!

Your wedding is all about you, your family and dear friends. Be your true self. Show your fun, quirky personality. Do the things that make you happy. Laugh loudly. Kiss slowly. Hug tightly.
I'll be there to capture it all and help you save these beautiful memories for a lifetime.
