What's My Story?

Every portrait tells a story, here’s mine.
​​​
​I’m Ravi Putcha, the photographer behind 10K Portraits.
​
Before photography became my profession, I spent over 15 years in IT services, working in process design, service quality, and middle management roles in large organizations. Those years shaped how I think — about systems, responsibility, standards, and what it means to deliver work that truly serves people.
​
Over time, I realized I do my best work in environments where care, thoughtfulness, and integrity are not secondary to urgency or competing agendas. I wanted to build something simpler and more intentional — a space where I could take full responsibility for the quality of what I offer.
​
Portrait photography became that space.
​
A portrait is not just a photograph. It represents how someone shows up in the world — professionally, personally, and socially. That carries weight. I approach it with the same seriousness I once brought to service quality and process design, but now in a more human, focused, and creative way.
​
Why 10K Portraits
​10K Portraits reflects a long-term commitment to mastery — improving through volume, attention, and continuous learning. It’s not a studio with layers of staff or hand-offs. It’s just me.
​
I handle everything myself, from planning to the final delivery. That keeps the process clear, accountable, and consistent.

What Makes This Work Well
​
​This service is built on mutual respect and clarity. ​It works best when clients:
-
Trust professional guidance during the process
-
Respect timelines and payment terms
-
Value quality over negotiation
Prices are fixed so the focus stays on the work, not bargaining. When expectations are clear on both sides, the experience remains calm, focused, and productive.
I look forward to creating portraits you can stand behind — images that represent you with clarity and integrity.
