Founder
Murali Daran

Hi, I’m Murali Daran, a passionate portrait and wedding photographer. I founded Candid Carnival during my final year of Civil Engineering studies in 2015. Driven by a love for storytelling through photography, I have dedicated my career to capturing authentic moments that resonate deeply with our clients. With over 500 successful projects, my journey has been one of learning, growth, and creating lasting memories for countless families and couples.

From humble beginnings to establishing one of the most trusted photography brands, my vision has always been clear—creating art through the lens. Photography, for me, is not just a profession but a medium to preserve the essence of life’s most beautiful moments. 

Co-Founder
Venkatesh

My journey into cinematography began in 2017 during my final year of a Master’s in Construction Engineering. Though my academic path was technical, my heart was always drawn to storytelling and the magic of visuals. At Candid Carnival, I blend creativity with precision, ensuring every frame carries meaning and emotion. From spontaneous laughter to heartfelt exchanges, I strive to capture the essence of every moment. What started as a passion has become my purpose—turning fleeting memories into timeless stories, one frame at a time.

Before the festivities begin, we build trust and familiarity through personal interactions. We warmly welcome clients to our studio, where they can experience the luxury of our albums firsthand. For those joining remotely, our e-meet initiative offers virtual calls where couples and their families can connect with our team, understand our approach, and build a rapport that goes beyond the lens. Through these interactions, we go beyond being just photographers—we become a trusted part of the journey. By fostering familiarity before the big day, we create an atmosphere where moments unfold naturally, allowing us to capture the essence of every celebration with warmth and authenticity.
