“Photography As A Tool”. Heritage Documentation Photography is a ‘specialised photography technique’ used for ‘research’ and ‘conservation’ purposes along with measured drawings. The process includes detailed visual documentation of the structure and antiquities with proper scientific and theoretical base. The documentation photographs can be used even for generating drawings and measurements.
Our team includes architects who are specially trained for Heritage Documentation Photography.
Some of our notable projects:
Photographic Documentation of Pattanam Archaeological Excavation, Muziris Heritage Project, Govt. of Kerala.
Photographic Documentation of Swadeshi Cotton Mills, Pondicherry.
Photographic Documentation of Temple at Barcore, Manipal, Karnataka.
Our broad capabilities and diverse styles have allowed us to provide our services for a vast array of clientele across India, ranging from individuals to corporate clients.
“Ar. Prasanth Mohan is a focussed architectural photographer who has captured the essence of the building he has shot for us. We were extremely pleased with his quality of work, turnaround time and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend his service to others. We wish “Running Studios” the very best!”
“As a new entrant in an already crowded market, our work has been characterised by its marked departure from the conventional. In these early years of our office, exposure to prospective clients has been of paramount importance to us. Prasanth has been more of a friend and less of a photography consultant for us. Time and again, his skills with the camera have helped us in portraying the best of our works in a manner that has helped us in reaching and impressing new clientèle. His work ethics and aesthetics are up there and in sync with the best in the business. Our friendship as well as professional association is bound to go places in the years to come.”
