What's My Story?
Hello there! Thank you for dropping by!! You want to check what my story is? Read on...
​
​I am Ravi Putcha. For me being a professional portrait photographer means being an artist, being into it with all my heart, mind and body, no half measures. This is not a side hustle, not a part time job or a hobby. I don't have hobbies.
​​
​​After working for more than 15 years in quality assurance and customer advocacy in large, well known IT companies, I started my own professional photography service. ​Because ​I didn’t want to be a cog in a wheel (I still don’t), a cog that makes the hub shine but remains just a cog, nope! I wanted a wheel for myself, a small wheel alright but a well crafted wheel. I call it 10k Portraits - it is an expression of who I am, it embodies my beliefs (my ability to learn, change, evolve and adapt) and values (truth, honesty and integrity), it is an outlet for my ideas, imagination and creativity. I enjoy the process, making connections, opportunity to learn while I am providing this service and that forms a positive feedback loop.
​
​10k Portraits is not an organization, there is no 'we', it is just me - I am the janitor, photographer, owner of this one man service. 10k Portraits evolves with my own evolving personality. I aim to make this a memorable service, make it worth the money for my customers. This is not just 'talk', you will get to see when you get your portraits done by me.
