E37: Amrita Samant - Capturing the world of families
When Amrita Samant decided to pursue her passion and take up maternity and child photography back in 2013, little did she realise she would help open up a whole new industry in India, paving the way for many more such photographers. Over the years, Amrita has done over 1400 shoots spread across different countries, won multiple international awards and scaled up to leading an all-women’s team. Through her photography, she has run campaigns to highlight the importance of breastmilk donation for babies in intensive care unit. From a portrait photographer to having grown to a family documentary photographer, Amrita has also shot for many personalities including actor Sameera Reddy and cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin. So what was it like to be among first movers in this industry and what does she want her work legacy to be?
