Daily Inspiration: Meet Deepika Haldankar

Today we’d like to introduce you to Deepika Haldankar.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Being at this point today has been a long, rough road. Being on the H4 visa was no joke. The frustration of not being able to move ahead in life and just watching my life pass by was ultimately taking a toll.

The urge to take control of my life was stronger than the comfort of sitting around and living for the sake of it. And then there was my daughter, who looked up to me. I wanted her to have a role model whom she could look up to for strength whenever needed. Giving up was not an option. All these factors made me get out of my comfort zone.

Once I decided to work on myself, I faced another challenge: getting permits and licenses. Building everything step by step was a task in itself. I had no idea where to obtain permits or where to begin, especially being an introvert. This is when I got out of my comfort zone and started approaching people for information. Slowly, I got the required details, and things started taking shape.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a Professional Photographer based in Chandler, AZ. I help small business promote their beautiful products through amazing images. As an artist, I am drawn to visual storytelling, and photography is one of the essential tools to portray that story.

I provide various services, from Food Photography, Still Life Photography, and Product Photography. For me, photography is the joy of creating a memory. The intricate details of every subject, its colors, and textures make me explore more and capture them.

I focus on the client’s needs as a person and a business. I like to bring out the client’s vision through my photography. I am drawn to small businesses that have a unique story to tell. I genuinely believe that there is a story that needs to come out behind every brand.

In 2022, I took my love for photography a little further. I launched my online store for Fine Art Photography- DH Fine Art Photography. It is a place for owning one-of-a-kind Fine Art Photography prints. Your space is your own and a unique area that is personal to you. Whether it is your home, office, or commercial space, it has its energy surrounding it.

Buying original art makes it more special as you bring distinctive art, which conveys who you are to the outside world. A store-bought piece is beautiful but is shared by many. By buying directly from an artist, you get an authentic piece owned by a selected few.

I added digital paint strokes to the image, which gives it a surreal effect. They make gorgeous art for your home, office, or commercial space. You can check out the shop and collection here: www.dhfineartphotography.com

What do you like and dislike about the city?
The community in Chandler, AZ, is amazing. It encourages small businesses and helps them thrive.
