Simi is an alchemist: her photographs inspire poetry, prose and nurture the spirit. I have worked with her for over ten years. Her photographs adorn the cover of my books. Their elegance and grace aspires me to become a better writer. Her worth ethic is strong, her drive is aspirational and her photography is pure magic

 Monica Bhide- cookbook & fiction author

Simi was so easy to work with and very professional. We met several times ahead of our restaurant's food photo shoots to confirm the overall look and feel of the images. Simi brought her expertise and delivered quality photographs that we use on our website, social channels, advertisements, and any other way that we can showcase our dishes. I look forward to working with Simi on future photo shoots. She is a true gem and we are so happy to have found her.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Simi on numerous projects related to my restaurant branding, menu photography, and video content showcasing my menu items. Her ability to capture images is simply astounding; each photograph exudes a sense of life and vibrancy.

I wholeheartedly recommend Simi for her outstanding professionalism and honesty. I wish you continued success in all your future endeavors, Simi.

Thank you for the class, I really enjoyed it. I must confess, I was a bit nervous at first. I learnt so much in one session, I cannot wait for our next. I highly recommend this class, I thought I knew about shutter speed and aperture but I soon realized and I am glad I asked you to go through it. Also, all the tips about styling that make it so much easier. Thank you Simi.

The whole experience of learning about food photography from you was amazing. Something that I am gonna remember forever. You know photography very well & you also know how to share or teach others about it as well that information, which not all are good at. I am so grateful that I have the basics clear now. I always keep going back & replaying our conversation in my head while clicking pictures. Thank you so much.

Looking forward to learning more from you soon.

When I enrolled in Simi's classes, I didn't really know what would be in store. Simi is the best thing that happened to me in my photography journey. Her pics have a unique, artistic touch to them. She is a great teacher and a mentor who explains things until you get it right! When I look back at my photos, I see the progress after joining Simi's classes. She taught me how to understand every aspect in a pic, most importantly, light. Her course covers everything from shooting, food styling to editing. My favorite part in this course has been critiquing. I learnt so much by critiquing on others' pics and getting feedback on my pics too. I wasn't really comfortable with this idea initially, but Simi insisted that critiquing is the best way to learn. That was the game changer! Thank you so much Simi, for not holding back your knowledge and expertise. For pushing me out of my comfort zone, motivating me and challenging me to come up with something better every single time. Rarely do I come across artists like you. Much love!!
