Siddharth-Sharma

"An intuitive mind and a curious eye are all I have," says Siddharth Sharma, and that’s House on the Clouds. Since the pictures from Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra's wedding have surfaced on the internet, this young man and his company are being drenched in love for clicking such dreamy pictures. Having pictured the weddings of many big celebrities, he has solidified his name in the event and entertainment world.

But did you know that he worked at an IT company before emerging as an esteemed photographer? Yes, you read it right! Siddharth Sharma left his job in 2016 to be a full-time lensman, and eventually, he laid the foundation of House on the Clouds. When we asked him about his inspiration to be a photographer, here's what he said: "Stories! I believe that it's stories that have formed my bond with photography and also strengthened it."

Adding further, he said, "I consider it an art of storytelling... I have always been fascinated and intrigued by people and the different mediums in which one can narrate stories, be it a photographer, writer, musician, painter, filmmaker, choreographer/dancer, or many other mediums of art. It blows my mind and makes me an extremely curious observer and listener.

Speaking about his role as a wedding photographer, Siddharth Sharma says, "Photography allows me to live vicariously through the images that I capture. As a person, I've never liked being a guest at a wedding. But whenever I was around, I noticed that it was a playground or drawing board for emotions and feelings. There is always so much going on emotionally and mentally that needs to be caught on to or documented for people to be able to watch 10-20 years later and still feel those moments in real time later." This fascination led him to be a leading photographer!

Siddharth Sharma has also shot for Alisha-Luv Ranjan, Alia Bhatt -Ranbir Kapoor, Arpita Mehta-Kunal Rawal, Alanna Pandey-Ivor McMurray and Athiya Shetty-KL Rahul. He started his journey in 2016, and since then he has left no stone unturned in narrating beautiful stories of different souls! His clicked Kiara-Sid wedding photograph is the most-liked Instagram post in India. We hope that he continues to illustrate such love-worthy stories with his commendable photo skills.
