Shivam is nothing short of brilliant when it came to assisting me around Kolkata. He knows the area very well and got us into spots we never would have found alone.
Shivam has an amazing knowledge of Kolkata and what a photographer is uniquely looking for. I trust him as my go-to guide across India.
I had the pleasure to work with Shivam for a week during a project in Kolkata. He was able to get me into places I could never have accessed alone.
Best photography experience I have ever had. Shivam knowledge of the city is unmatched — and his ability to help you connect with people on the street is extraordinary.
An incredible experience photographing Kolkata. Shivam opened doors I never would have found on my own. Every morning was different and perfectly planned.
Shivam made our Kolkata and Varanasi trip truly special. His knowledge of people and places is extraordinary and his patience is endless.
