Ep-41: Mommy, baby and the camera ft. Amrita Samant on UNSETTLING by Amrita Sukumar

The UNSETTLING Podcast

Episode 41 is a conversation with Amrita Samant, who is the founder of MOMMY SHOTS BY AMRITA. This episode is an interesting insight for all those who want to pursue child photography as a profession! We talk about her journey from corporate to being an entrepreneur. We also talk about the precautions to be taken while handling a newborn and the hustle that is required to be consistent in this field. I hope the listeners get an insight into her life and also learn from all her experiences.

Amrita Samant has done a double Masters in HR and has worked in the corporate sector for a few years. Even when she was working she spent her time in the pursuit of Arts and always looked for a creative outlet. That is when she realized that a desk job was not her calling. So she finally decided to take the plunge and start working with the two things she absolutely loved, babies and her camera. The journey to setting up MOMMY SHOTS BY AMRITA might not have been an easy one, but she believed in the hustle and hustle she did till she reached her goals. She also wanted to impart her knowledge of her experience and hence she started a podcast called THE AMRITA SAMANT PODCAST. Where she shares tips on how to keep improving as a photographer and also in life.
