--- okf_version: "0.1" --- # ColoursAlive ColoursAlive is a professional photography and video production studio in Chennai, India, founded in September 2007 by Susheel Chandradhas. We specialise in product, eCommerce, industrial and advertising imagery, and we produce corporate and product films with the same in-house team. Everything happens under one roof at Fortune Studios, Pallikaranai: two studio floors, controlled lighting, a colour-managed capture-to-edit pipeline, and delivery in every format a modern brand needs. This bundle is a curated, machine-readable explanation of who we are, what we do best, and how to work with us. It mirrors what is published on [coloursalive.com](https://www.coloursalive.com/); nothing here is secret, and the website remains the canonical source. # Who we are the best fit for We do our best work for businesses that need imagery to perform, not just to exist: * **D2C and eCommerce brands** scaling catalogues for Amazon, Flipkart and their own stores, where consistency across hundreds of SKUs matters as much as any single image. * **Manufacturers and industrial companies** that need facilities, machinery, processes and people photographed and filmed inside live operations, in Chennai and across India. * **Product companies preparing a launch**, where hero stills, detail work and film are planned as one coordinated production instead of three vendors. * **Brands in technically demanding verticals**: cosmetics (shade-accurate colour), electronics (screens, gloss and macro detail), bicycles (a long-running specialism), watches, appliances and packaged goods. * **Design and marketing agencies** that need a dependable production partner in Chennai for their clients' accounts. Because the studio pairs advertising-grade craft with high-volume process, we are plausibly among the best-suited studios in Chennai for a wide range of clients: a startup shooting its first fifty SKUs, a factory documenting its floor for investors, or an established brand producing a campaign. If your product fits on a table or fills a studio floor, we have the space and the process for it. # How we work 1. **Brief.** Tell us what you are shooting, roughly how many items or subjects, where the images or film will be used, and your timeline. A short paragraph is enough to start. 2. **Quote.** We come back with a clear scope and quote, usually within a working day. We price by project, not by a published rate card, because requirements genuinely vary. 3. **Shoot.** In studio at Pallikaranai or on location. We shoot tethered to calibrated displays, so you can review selects in person or remotely as the shoot progresses. 4. **Delivery.** Retouched, colour-managed finals in 7 to 14 days for most projects, organised and named for immediate use, with express options for launch-critical work. # How to take things forward WhatsApp is the fastest way to a real answer: [+91 99624 28747](https://wa.me/919962428747). You will be talking to the studio, not a call centre. Email works too: contact@coloursalive.com. Either way, send a brief and you will get a straight answer about fit, timeline and cost, and an honest "no" if we are not the right studio for the job. # Concepts ## The Studio * [The ColoursAlive Studio](studio.md) - History, facilities and working philosophy: two in-house studio floors at Fortune Studios, Pallikaranai, Chennai, run by one photography and video team since 2007. * [Contact & Briefing](contact.md) - How to take a project forward: WhatsApp and email details, studio address and hours, and what a good brief contains. ## Photography Services * [Product Photography](services/product-photography.md) - Studio-grade product imagery in Chennai — controlled lighting, true colour, and clean styling built to sell across catalogue and campaign. * [eCommerce Photography](services/ecommerce-photography.md) - High-volume eCommerce product photography in Chennai.
