Jonna Guddi
Andhra Pradesh
A residential quarter of Vizianagaram, away from the commercial streets. Ceremonies here tend to be held at home rather than in a hall, in rooms shared with everyone who turns up.

What we photograph here
Seemantham, barasala, half saree functions, first birthdays and housewarmings make up most of the work in areas like this one.
Planning around the place
Most ceremonies here happen at home rather than in a hall, which changes how we work: smaller rooms, light from one side, and a family conducting a ritual in the middle of it. We work close and quietly, and we do not rearrange a room that people are using.
We cover Jonna Guddi as part of Vizianagaram at no extra travel cost. Tell us the venue when you enquire and we will say what the light does there at the hour you are planning.
