Sumeet Ballal
Advertising photographers
Based out of Mumbai, Sumeet is an editorial and commercial photographer whose little dark box takes him travelling the world.
He was born and raised in a small town and went on changing cities to study art to applied arts when the dark box caught him on his neck. It took him 7000 miles off shores to world’s best college, London College of Fashion where he learned important things, like student loans.
London was the place which carved the real him. He slogged at studios to hone the craft and cycled on his fixie all around exploring the fashion capital and making friends over a beer in the English weather. The dark box is getting bigger and so is his portfolio, which matters to him the most. Sumeet tries to stay true to his art. He is always open for new ideas and experimental collaborations.
His clients include VIP Skybags, Grasim India, Liva, Emperors Fine Jewels, Mandate Magazine, M Magazine, Grazia India, Tantalum Magazine, Jute Magazine and some of the leading designers and brands.
