Shakir
My colleague Saajith and I have been enthusiast photographers for about 20+ years. I’d been an aerospace engineer for 15 years and Saajith ran some businesses of his own. Around the beginning of 2020, we decided to pursue our passion and form a commercial photography venture focusing on food, products, architecture and fashion. We’re helping small businesses up their visual appeal by providing photography to international standards that is affordable. And so we created SAASH Photography.
At the CYP workshop we’ll be taking you through the basics of photography and how to use these skills to draw attention to your product, service and brand. We will teach you how to do this in the comfort of your home using your smartphone camera!
Looking forward to meeting you all then!
