UMESH PILLAI
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Umesh. People on social media also know me as Pixxatron or Pixxa.
I started out as a photographer with the urge to tell stories, give people new perspectives and ways of seeing the world. Today I am a freelance photographer, and videographer based in a city of India called Pune, Maharashtra .
I have been in this business for past 3+ years and when I started this as a business
I quickly realised that life of a young photographer is full of twists and turns. Not only I have to learn how to capture good photographs, but also learn how to work with clients.
I did my diploma in Photography from Asian Academy of Film and Television. During the process of learning the ways to photography and understanding the concept I realised, the gear I use doesn’t really matter always. The way I use them matters. Today, I am confident enough to capture things even with a beginner level camera. Editing my work according to the industry standards is one of the perks I learnt along the way.
Photography serves as a canvas to potrait my art and imaginations.

PORTRAIT
Portrait photography is about capturing the essence, personality, identity and attitude of a person utilizing backgrounds, lighting and posing. The goal is to capture a photo that appears both natural and prepared to allow the subject’s personality to show through.
As long as the photographer can effectively capture the subject’s character, the equip ment used does not really matter. While it always helps to have equipment that is state of the art, it is really not needed.
BABY/KID SHOOT
Professional Newborn Photography is an art in itself. Baby shots may be the most difficult pictures to take in the photography industry. The hardest part of getting a great looking portrait is having the baby cooperate. According to me the key to capturing best shots are understanding the fact that the baby is the boss here. Let it do it’s thing. Don’t disturb the flow by forcing poses or making the baby sleep in an uncomfortable way just so they are looking cute in it. Just let them be the boss and direct the shoot through their tiny little shenanigans.
PRODUCT
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a stunning product picture is worth a thousand website visits. Product photography can be extremely valuable to your ecommerce website strategy.
I like to capture product in a way that it tells a story about itself. To reach your target audience members who prefer buying online, you also need to give your audience clear, eyecatching photos of your products.
FOOD
Great food photos evoke memories and tell stories. Excellent food is meant to be savored in the moment, but a great food photo can add another element to the experience, turning the ephemeral experience of a meal into a tangible memento that you can savor and share over and over again.
PRE-WEDDING
If you will try to find the logic behind Pre Wedding shoot, you will actually miss the feel behind it. According to me, it’s a cherry on the cake for the couples who are involved in arranged marriages. They get to know each other and spend quality time during such shoots. Photographers tell you to come closer, that also benefits a lot in such relationships before getting married. It is a beautiful building a comfort zone between 2 souls.
MATERNITY
Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Mom enjoys some perks, like glowing skin, luxurious looks, and a cute baby bump. Maternity shoot is a beautiful way of capturing these experiences. You’ll love looking back at the pictures as your child grows. I like to be the medium to capture these moments for my clients. Since, the images I capture are going to be treasured!
EVENT
Event for us photographers is like go all in at once kind of a thing. The moments that occur in these genre cannot be recreated. A photographer has to be prepared and needs to research about the the events lineup to capture the best shots for the client. Each and every thing is important while capturing the event.
MOTORSPORTS
Being a biker is more than just riding a bike, your heartbeat has to be in sync with the bike’s engine and for them their life takes a 360 from when they go from braking, accelerating to cornering. The feeling of gushing through the wind, the abundance of adrenaline that rushes through.
FESTIVAL
It’s incredibly euphoric and almost surreal. So many mixed emotions. The best part about festivals are they bring people together. As a photographer you get to capture so many unseen emotions.
WILDLIFE
Wildlife photography is a way to connect with nature, to interact with it, to understand the living in wild. It taught me how to be patient in life. I learnt how to work hard in silence and wait for the right moment to capture the best moment.
STREET
I like the people in my street photographs. I kinda connect with them. I have never met most of them or I don’t even know them at all. Yet, I feel a sense of closeness with them through my images.
INTERIOR
Whether it’s white walls and clean lines or colorful furniture and eccentric details, interior photography is about capturing that emotion by balancing light, composition, and depth to make viewers feel like they’re actually there.
