Photography by Suman Blog – Michigan Based Lifestyle Photographer »

Welcome to our blog!

Thank you for stopping by. I am a Michigan based lifestyle photographer. I focus on creating fine art style portraits and high fashion wedding photography. I strive to create very colorful, highly dramatic and unique images through artistic composition, natural and artificial lighting and creative imagination.

This blog serves as a journal for my professional and personal life. In addition to showcasing my professional photography, my wife Sharmila and I also use it to share our journey through life. Sharmila and I got married in October 2004. We live in West Bloomfield, MI. I consider myself a very lucky man - Sharmila is the most amazing, loving and caring wife anyone can have. We are very fortunate to live the life that we have and we wish to cherish every minute that we get to spend with one another in this life.

Jayne and John – Engagement Shoot

Wednesday, May 9, 2012 Posted in Engagement

John and Jayne are getting married on June 12th, 2012 and I am photographing their wedding at the MOCAD in Detroit. Sharmila and I shot their engagement session a week ago in downtown Detroit and it was the most fun that we’ve have had doing a photo session! These two were a laugh a minute! They brought their skateboards, motor cycles, bikes and a variety of cool clothes, but most importantly, they brought their super fun attitude. John rocked it in his cool leather jacket. Jayne looked amazing no matter what she was wearing. Talk about being up for anything – they jumped from window panes, hung from rusted pipes, stood in the middle of overgrown fields and skate boarded in alleyways.

After the shoot, we had some great beer and dinner together before heading home. We got a lot of great pics. Here are a few from the shoot.

Jayne and John – hope you both like the images. I can’t wait to shoot your wedding. I know you guys will be a blast to work with!

Shweta and Robin’s Birthdays

Monday, December 19, 2011 Posted in Personal

We had another super busy weekend – Friday was game night at Nina’s which ended up with us coming home around 5am due to some very interesting discussions and debates that we had in the middle of playing Cranium.

Saturday, we went to 2 birthday parties – Shweta’s birthday at Ronin (great food!) and Robin’s birthday at The Corner Bar. Needless to say that we needed Sunday to recover from the previous two days!

Note: All pix taken with a point and shoot.

Richie’s birthday was in two days, so we did some shots to celebrate both Robin and Richie’s birthday.

Happy birthday ladies (and Richie)! It was fun seeing you all over the weekend.

Wine Tasting at Tamanna’s

Sunday, December 11, 2011 Posted in Personal

Tamanna and Charlie had a wine tasting party at their house and it was really fun. Not just because we got to drink lots of wine, but due to the fact that it was very educational. We learned how to hold a wine glass properly, how to swirl the wine in the glass and what to look for in terms of color, taste and smell. Very entertaining.

A few pix from the night (Note: All pix taken by a point and shoot)

I had my hat and bow-tie look going on that night and Tamanna thought it was “cute”, so here she is pulling my cheeks.

After Tamanna and Charlie’s we headed over to Mridhu’s for her holiday party, where we had great food and played Taboo and Charades in to the wee hours of the morning.

Cynthia’s Baby Shower

Monday, November 7, 2011 Posted in Personal

Cynthia and Tushar are expecting twins! Yesterday was Cynthia’s baby shower at the Wabeek Country Club. Here are a few pics from the shower.

Note: All pix taken with a point and shoot.

One of the games that they played was to decorate a onesie. The girls wanted a “Tonight is the night” theme and asked me to help them with the concept. For those who don’t know Tushar, he yells “tonight is the night” before, during and after we’re hanging out a bar, lounge or club. So we decided to draw a baby boy and a girl clinking their bottles with the writing on top. Here is a pic of us holding our decorated onesie before submitting it for the contest. You can’t really see the drawings and writings in this pic, but scroll down to see a close up.

Here is a close up of the idea that the girls came up with and my art work that brought it to life

Tushar’s favorite hang out joint is the Corner Bar in Birmingham, so we incorporated that in to the back of the onesie.

After the shower, we headed to their house to help them unload the car full of presents and stayed for a while to relax and hang out before coming home.
