The in-between
moments, kept.
Hey, I'm Yogananda
Engineer by day, photographer the rest of the time. The engineering half just makes me obsessive about details — every frame in your gallery gets that care.
Photography started as a way to hold onto things. People change, days end, kids get bigger overnight — and I hated how fast all of it moved. So I picked up a camera.
Now I get to freeze the in-between moments: the ones nobody posed for, that somehow say the most.

How I work
The best photos happen when nobody's trying
Before the shoot, I learn what you actually care about. During it, I stay light on my feet and let the day unfold. After, I sit with every image and edit by hand until it feels right.
You stay in the moment. I'll make sure none of it gets lost. And you won't catch me saying "say cheese" — I'd rather catch you mid-laugh than mid-pose.
The process
Simple, start to finish
Say hello
Tell me the date, the place and what the day looks like in your head. I'll come back with availability and what a session together would cover.
Plan the day
We walk through timings, locations and the people who matter, so nothing important gets missed while everything is happening at once.
Shoot it
I stay out of the way and work the room. You get to actually be at your own event instead of posing through it.
Your gallery
Every frame hand-edited, delivered in a private online gallery you can download, share and print from — yours to keep.
