What's My Story?

Every portrait tells a story. Here’s mine.
​
I’m Ravi Putcha. For me, photography isn’t a hobby or a side gig. It’s my full-time work and the way I’ve chosen to spend my life. I put my whole heart and mind into it.
​
Before I started 10K Portraits, I spent over 15 years in service and process design, service quality roles at large IT organizations. Those years brought financial security, growth, and a broader perspective.
​
But over time, I felt constrained by the environment in which doing the right thing is not possible owing to never ending expediency and competing personal agendas. Much of what I had to do was a priority in someone else's point of view but not necessarily for the good of the organization. I felt disenchanted. But slowly but surely came the realization that a life of doing something simpler, truer, something genuine and authentic is what I need.
​
Photography became my antidote—a small, personal practice where I could bring clarity, care, and intention to everything I do and that's how got into photography. Well into all kinds of photography, I realized that creating portraits that feel clean, professional yet authentic is the path that can get me to what I have been looking for - not all kinds of photography, just that specific area, portrait photography - that's how I can build a portrait photography with skill, honesty, sincerity, in a visible and lasting.
10K Portraits is the name I gave to this service - it means ten thousand portraits. 10K Portraits is just me —no staff, no middlemen. I take care of everything myself, from planning to delivery. ​
