We are grateful to our dear friend Karthik Nagaraj for taking charge of the photography and videography for my daughter’s arangetram. His creativity and personal touch has made the day truly memorable by capturing the essence of the dance form, from the pre-performance rituals to the 3-hour long performance with the live music. We really thank Karthik for his professionalism and dedication.

I asked him to pick the location for our photoshoot, and he picked the perfect spot in San Francisco. We had a great time shooting with a variety of backgrounds and ideas. OpenFire Photography is also great with live settings such as musical performances or dance - Drew really captures creative expression very well, honors the subject's vision while also offering his own artistic contribution and ideas.

If you have run into Robert Kandell, then you've run into an excellent photographer. We've used him for professional head shots, and for a family reunion. Robert is quite the competent professional photographer. I like how he puts all the shots on a website, from which you can download. There's no part of photography that he doesn't understand and excel at. He's a nice guy too! I can't recommend him highly enough.
