We’re Riya and Kartikey, visual architects with a shared obsession for crafting stories that linger. Armed with cameras and a relentless curiosity, we see the world as a canvas overflowing with unseen narratives.

Our journey wasn’t born in a studio, but in the vibrant streets of Delhi. DCOP ignited our passion, but it was the messy, ever-evolving world outside the classroom that shaped our eye. From documenting the quiet determination of street vendors to capturing fleeting moments of urban beauty, we learned that magic lies in unexpected places.

As freelancers, we reveled in the challenge of translating abstract concepts into dynamic visuals. Whether collaborating with passionate entrepreneurs or bringing an artist’s vision to life, each project expanded our creative toolkit. At the heart of it all was a deep respect for our clients’ stories and an unwavering determination to elevate them.

Lucknow, our hometown, felt like fertile ground for cultivating something unique. Gray Shade Studios emerged from the realization that our distinct perspectives were more compelling in unison. We see it as our calling to illuminate the extraordinary within the seemingly ordinary. Think of us as alchemists of light, shadow, and emotion.

Some wield paintbrushes; we wield cameras. We believe every brand, every individual, every fleeting emotion holds a visual language waiting to be unlocked. We chase the unseen, the moments tucked between the lines, the nuances that speak volumes when captured just right.

Let Gray Shade Studios illuminate your story– it’s far more vibrant than you might realize.
