numenphotos: weddings travel studio

So here I am after many many days to bring to you fabulous photography by Sumit Saini!
Sumit is a dear friend and colleague from NID. Even though Sumit is a Product Designer, photography remains a passion for him and his love affair with camera started while still in NID. 
(me thinks his love affair with camera was triggered by the need to capture his beautiful lady love tsk tsk)


Here's what Sumit has to say about himself...


'I am a designer by profession and a photographer by zeal. My interest in photography began at the National Institute of Design Ahmedabad and gradually bloomed into an obsession. I like to capture the beauty of the everyday and reveal the core of what is beautiful. From the platform of "numenphotos", I offer visually and emotionally captivating photography, ranging from weddings to studio to travel.'








'My wedding photographs preserve the wonderful expressions in your life—a naughty look, a euphoric shout, a loving gesture, a light moment—in a fresh way.'




'Wedding photographs usually look like replicas of each other against different backdrops, but my photographs capture the story hidden behind each shot. I collect and distill those stories into pure memorabilia. I try to freeze the emotions so that you can relive the pleasure and excitement of the most significant days of your life.'



'Travelling is an ancient endeavor and it has accomplished so much that is part of our world today. My photographs capture what a new traveler feels when his eyes see something for the first time. Raw and compelling, my travel photographs will transport you to that place and time, removing all the distance between you and your destination.'

Thank you for sharing your work here Sumit!!

So it is Karva Chauth tomorrow!! We call it KC these days...sounds cooler but the day remains the same....very traditional :)
My husband volunteered to fast last year along with me...but I told him no (women outlive men anyway :)!! These special days/festivals are for women...for them to socialize and have fun...play dress up and gossip with the girls and then extract gifts from from the husbands whose longevity we fasted for...if the husbands start fasting, they become equals and then the concept of gifting the wives become redundant no? Last year my husband gifted me fancy heels and a Ritu Kumar top....ummmmm what can I extract out of him this year??? Hahahah will keep you posted about that.

Meanwhile found an interesting link for further reading on KC.....check it here...
