Meet the Storytellers Crafting Every Shot

How It All Started
Purple 9 was born from the serendipitous meeting of two passionate visionaries in the heart of the UK. Both driven by a relentless love for visual storytelling, they first encountered each other while attending a photography workshop in London—one a detail-obsessed artist from India, the other a technically-gifted creative from Manchester. United by their shared ideals of elegance, artistry, and the transformative power of imagery, their collaboration began as a side project, capturing vibrant UK cityscapes and intimate lifestyle portraits for boutique brands and local businesses.
What started as casual shoots soon evolved into a dynamic partnership. They gained recognition within London’s thriving art and design communities for their ability to infuse every frame with emotion and character. Over countless shoots—early mornings bathed in purple dawn light or spirited brainstorming sessions in cozy cafes—their friendship deepened, and so did their dedication to mastering the craft.
After years of honing their aesthetic and building a diverse clientele in the UK, they decided to bring their unique vision home to India. With their combined experience in luxury branding and Western art direction, they saw the opportunity to elevate the standards of Indian photography, blending international finesse with local storytelling. Now thriving in India’s vibrant markets—from luxury weddings to high-end brand campaigns—Purple 9 is setting new benchmarks. Their studio stands as a testament to creative fusion: where British precision meets Indian soul, crafting masterpieces that capture sophistication and authentic moments alike.
Today, Purple 9 is not just a business but an artistic journey—one that began with a chance encounter abroad and is now redefining luxury photography back home in India. Their story is an inspiration: a reminder that when visionaries from different worlds unite, they don’t just take pictures—they create legacies.
