Candid Photography and Drone Rules in Mumbai - October 2025 Archive
When it comes to capturing life as it happens, candid photography, a style that records unposed, natural moments during weddings, family gatherings, and daily life. Also known as real moments photography, it’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about preserving emotion that posed shots can’t fake. In India, where family events are loud, messy, and full of feeling, candid photos become the only true record of who was there, who laughed, who cried, and who danced like no one was watching. This isn’t a trend—it’s how memories stick.
But candid photography doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s tied to the tools you use, the rules you follow, and the tech you carry. That’s why October 2025’s posts also dive deep into drone regulations in India, the legal framework governing UAV use for photography, from registration to no-fly zones. Also known as Indian drone policy, it affects anyone trying to capture aerial shots of weddings, festivals, or cityscapes. If you’re thinking of flying a drone, you need to know about DGCA rules, import limits from Dubai, and how police track DJI models. And if you’re editing those photos afterward, you’ll want to know which free apps—like GIMP, Canva, or Lightroom Mobile—actually work without costing a fortune.
Behind every great candid photo is a photographer who knows how to price their work, how to handle client expectations, and how to avoid common mistakes in passport photos or photo books. This archive covers it all: from how much to charge for event photography in Mumbai to whether $50 is enough to tip your wedding shooter. You’ll find checklists for passport photo rejections, comparisons between Photoshop and its free alternatives, and even a breakdown of what a middle-class Indian wedding actually costs in 2025—with candid photography factored in.
There’s no fluff here. No theory without practice. Just real questions from real people in India asking: Can I legally bring my drone from Dubai? Is Walmart really selling digital passport photos? What’s the best free app for my iPhone? And why do my candid shots look better than the posed ones? The answers are in the posts below.
