About

I walked a few paths before I stumbled upon a camera at some point, and I haven’t left it since. Hi, I am Monica Chindalia and I am a life style photographer based in Dubai. I absolutely love what I do.

I grew up in the age of manual non-digital cameras. A camera, a photo for me, like for most of us, meant smiling and being ready at an occasion or event. We have all given that perfect smile and queued up with the best pose in a group photo to capture the moment in one shot. Pictures were fun, but that’s all they were for me.

While growing up, I was a creative child – I sketched, painted, filled the house with all sorts of handicraft! I pursued interior designing in college, went on to do my Masters in business management, worked in media – and I enjoyed these different phases, but I did not love it. When in the US, I happened to attend a photography course out of curiosity and that turned the key to my passions – my creativity, energy and flow found its answers in photography, my creative voice found it’s medium. It was for the first time that my instinctive index reached its highest.

When you are happy, you can bring a smile to others. This is what happened to me – I found my happiness in photography, I found a home there; and it helps me share a piece of my joy with my clients. I have been working for seven years, and through the years I have worked on my craft, never ceased to be curious, lived it – loved it and brought the same life and love towards capturing the precious life moments for my clients.
