Photography Runs in My Blood – A Family Legacy Since Jagdish Color Studio

For me, photography isn’t just a profession — it’s a family tradition.

My journey began long before I held my first camera. It started with my uncle, Late Shri Jagdish Bhatia, who founded the iconic Jagdish Color Studio in Vadodara. With overwhelming love from clients, the studio quickly became a trusted name in town.

Seeing this success, my father, Mr. Srichand Bhatia, left his stable job to support the growing studio. As the eldest in the family, he led with dedication. My grandfather, Mr. Teckchand Bhatia, a respected RMP by profession, took charge of the cash counter and overall studio management. Together, they created a strong foundation rooted in trust, skill, and service.

My Entry into the Frame

In 2002, after completing my studies, I officially joined Jagdish Color Studio. It was an honour to learn under the guidance of my elders — not just how to take a photo, but how to build lasting client relationships and handle every shoot with heart.

But as time evolved, so did the industry.

The Birth of Glamour Photos

In 2005, I launched Glamour Photos — a modern photography studio that combined our family's deep experience with new-age technology and creativity. From traditional film rolls to digital workflows, we adapted while holding on to our values.

Sadly, in 2008, due to the critical illness of my uncle, we had to close the doors of Jagdish Color Studio. But the legacy didn’t end — it transformed. Today, Glamour Photos stands strong, rooted in the same ethics and service, with a fresh and contemporary approach.
