Your calm demeanour and positive attitude made my job easier during a very stressful time; you were exactly where we asked you to be and you captured terrific images. Thank you again for your great work."

I have worked with Kalyan Studios since 2016 for many corporate, multi-day events that include off-site activities, social parties, interactive games and activities, and of course Board of Director headshots, every event with him has been a wonderful experience. While creating and executing this customized photography experience, Dean is always extremely professional, friendly, and organized. He is very talented and his photos are of the best quality whether they are posed or candid shots. He has captured so many wonderful memories, we look forward to working with him for many more future events.
