What My Clients Say

“I’ve hired Dhanraj multiple times for national campaign shoots, both in-studio and on location, and he delivers every time. When you work with Dhanraj, you’re not just getting a master photographer, you’re gaining a true creative partner. His eye for lighting and composition is impeccable, and he approaches every project like a creative partner, collaborating closely to bring your vision to life.”

— Mark Kaminski, Creative Director, Compass Group

Working with Dhanraj and his team was a joy! He was responsive, conscientious, and, most importantly, our photos were beautiful and more than we could have hoped for. It was a major upgrade from what we were using and will definitely make a big difference on our packaging, online, etc. Our product is tricky to work with, and he and his stylist were absolutely determined to work until they got the shots that we had planned, going above and beyond our expectations. Cannot recommend highly enough!
