Hi, I’m Sibu and I am a Chicago based professional photographer.
I began my journey in photography ever since my first SLR in 1998. Being an avid birdwatcher, nature & landscape photography was what got me started. And for the last few years, I’ve been professionally taking Weddings, Portraits and Dance & Theatre performances. For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of incredible intuition and soulful spontaneity! I specialize in custom portraiture with great attention to detail and uses both natural and studio light to deliver a perfect picture.
My style of photography is best described as eclectic & fun, much like telling a story (photojournalistic), where I capture memorable moments for the purpose of documenting, cherishing and sharing. I am a Canon Professional Services Gold Member and I shoot exclusively with Canon Professional grade equipment.
I draw a lot of inspiration from my extremely creative wife Sapna Sibu, and our two utterly loving and creative kids, Isha and Emil.
