When Baby Photo Shoot A Bundle Of Love To Call Our Own Has Come Into Our Hearts

Your life has a very unfair property, it never stops as long as you breath, whats even worse is, it takes time along with it…

One thing in life that is always lost , that is time, good or bad they will never comeback.

If you have noticed when in a family a baby is born , time seems to run like a bullet train. Yesterday  our boy was born and he is already running today and tomorrow he will be gone abroad far away in pursuit of his life and career.

Before you know it, all you will have are some photos and albums of the good old times when he was a baby…and that will bring a smile on your face and for that very short moment you will be transported to those days and relive it.

Pictures have this effect , Yes , and we don’t realise this until we reach a point when all we will have are these moments to recount.

With so much technology, innovations and gizmos , loosing these moments in a multitude of digital channels, are as easy as capturing them. Yes , we will shoot a lot of pictures through many trips and events, Times have gone by thousands of photos clicked but are lost, never preserved ,



Babies become kids very fast and kids become adults event sooner and then phoof they are gone , so make sure you capture your baby growing. Baby Photoshoot , or Baby portrait shoot or baby photography is a portrait photography where your bundle of joy is professionally photographed at its best moments in studio or for that matter at our place (GK Vale does both ) . Its important to get this professionally done as taking a baby portrait (Babayshoot) is not easy because they will not pose for the camera, so the best smiles , giggles , moves need to be instantly and candidly shot and processed.


I have known GK Vale & Co as the best Professional Photographer in Bangalore for portfolio photography , or studio photoshoot, and they have helped preserve moments for decades now..

100 years of Professional Photography in Bangalore: Evolution, Advancement and Survival

Early to Mid 90s : Emerging of Photo studios , Kodak Box cameras, bulb flashes, Royal portraits, Brownie, 35mm, pinhole and inverted lense, black and white , emergence of color photography

http://www.gkvale.com/
Back in the days , we are talking about the mid or late 1900s till almost the end of it , Professional services in Bangalore was very nascent . I remember my dad mentioning a few from the erstwhile years of the Mysore dynastic period, we had the likes of GK Vale & Co. , EGK,  GG Welling, Bartons to name a few noteworthy. It was mainly the Royal families and the high flyers who fashioned portrait photography. Photographers would go over to their place will all their gadgets, setup and shoot.

Remember the cameras of those days like the Kodak box , Sandersons, Butcher’s , later Konica with point-shoot-cameras were ruling the equipment front.

The 90s till 2000: Emergence of formal photo studio chains , film processing, negatives, dark rooms

As the years moved on in the 80s-90s, we saw a few studios ( some called it Labs) setting up chains. These photo studios provided mainly film prints, passport, portrait shoot and some outdoors photography services like wedding photography and other events, with their dark rooms and painstaking film development process. This was the time Polaroid’s instant photo came into the space, the days of instant passport photos and instant prints caught the fancy of the impatient consumers who wanted quick turnaround of their snaps. Well the print quality was no match for anything we have these days…but it was big back in the days. The photo film processing and instant polaroids made an impact in the photography market for years to comes. Kodak was the king of films, lense cameras from  and this continued till the early 2000s, breeding many photo studio chains Come 90s-thru early 2000s , the digital era started photography technology took a paradigm shift with a complete turn of events that only a few could stay abreast, many crashed down on this ..2008 – Polaroid announced discontinuing the production of all instant film products, citing the rise of digital imaging technology and also launching many.

Technology completely changed the way photography was perceived, cameras became more affordable, blooming many photographers amateur, contemporary and professional Portfolio Photography businesses had to change the way they provided their services.  Since then technology of both cameras and photo print have only been exponentially growing.

If I look back , very few have stood this test of time and technological evolution , many well known photo studios crashed out as they could not keep up with the rapid pace the industry was shaping, save a few like GK Vale & Co, that has been able to keep ahead, constantly upgrade and enhance its services with the evolution. 

Old Bangalore will know GK Vale, as a modest studio opening its first shop in MG Road in 1910, since then they have been upgrading, enhancing and evolving with the industry, technology and the consumer demands, today GK Vale stands as a one-stop-shop for all photography needs , with over 30 studios and stores across Bangalore and Mysore and still expanding, more than 50 Professional Photographers in Bangalore many of them seasons professional with GK Vale for many decades, high end , high definition digital printing machinery that you will find no where else.
