'You don't take a photograph, you make it' - Ansel Adams

Praveen Bhat, fashion photographer, is more than somebody who takes good pictures; he has the Midas touch to make his models look their best artistically. Praveen's work with brand names like Lakhani Shoes, Ritu Wears, Kuvam and also with some of the best designers in the industry is a reflection of his style, fashion and passion towards fashion photography.

Praveen's passion for photography goes back to his school days; though it was a hobby then he learnt manual processing and printing of black and white films from Mr. O.P. Sharma. In 2007, Praveen who by then had a promising career in the airlines industry, quit, and chose to take up photography professionally. Mr. Amitabh Bhattacharya (presently core faculty at APEX) trained him on the basics in photography.

Anyone who feels they are looking to learn more about the craft and science of photography should pay great attention to Praveen Bhat's work. His success comes from the fact he possesses the technical and artistic skills needed to create a valuable picture. Praveen is an extremely talented individual and has the tenacity to balance strategic thinking with effective tactical execution.
