Chitra Aiyer's photostream |
I am a photographer and writer/blogger based in Bangalore, India. I enjoy peering through the camera. I love all kinds of photography, but gravitate towards people, nature, and travel photography.
I take up photo-shoot assignments; I enjoy doing natural, casual on-location shoots of families, children, couples, new-born kids.
I shoot weddings and events - also in a natural, authentic fashion. You can see samples of my assignments here - Chitra Aiyer Photography page on FaceBook
For photo-shoots, mail me - chitra @ chitra-aiyer . com
Thanks.

Amit Basu says:
"To call Chitra's photographs beautiful would be an understatement. She really has a way with light, shadows and color. So much so, that each photograph looks unique, each one tells a story.
I have seen Chitra's photostream for quite some time now, and it just gets better and better over time. She is one of the photographers I really admire on Flickr, mostly because of the simple but very artistic style of her photographs. Everyone takes photographs, but Chitra seems to get to the essence of the art of photography.
I am a fan."5th March, 2009

HappyHorizons says:
"One of the things that Chitra's photographs remind us day in and day out is that Life is Simple. I believe that in order to understand that statement and take photographs about it.. One has to have a strong belief it it.
The vibrancy of the colors and the harmonious juxtaposition of elements even in the most complex of frames, makes one realize the beauty of things all around us.
Thanks for sharing your vision.
God Bless."30th September, 2008

"Chitra, one of my favorite flickr friends. I don't remember how I found her, but when I first saw her photostream, I could sense the warm feeling in her shots. I find the 'Indianness' in her pics and thats what I like about her pics. As for now she has got 30+ pictures that made to explore in a very short period. Wishing her all the best! Happy Clicking Chirtra !!!"
