Yahya Gopalani
Student, Photographer, and Artist in Mumbai
I’m Yahya Gopalani, a photographer based in Mumbai and founder of
YSG Studio.in. I photograph portraits, street life, food, brands, and the quiet, everyday moments that often go unnoticed.
Photography started with nothing more than a camera and curiosity. I simply photographed what I saw around me. Over time, that curiosity turned into a profession, but the approach never changed I’m still chasing honest moments instead of perfect ones.
My work has been recognized by 35AWARDS, where I was ranked among the Top 20 Photographers in Mumbai and the Top 400 Photographers in India. On Unsplash, my photographs have reached 4.6M+ views, 65K+ downloads, placing me among the top 10% of contributors worldwide.
Through YSG Studio, I work with brands, businesses, and individuals to create imagery that feels genuine, timeless, and purposeful. Whether it’s a commercial campaign, a portrait session, or documenting everyday life, the goal is always the same: create photographs that people connect with long after they’ve seen them.
I don’t chase perfection.
I capture what feels real.
That’s pretty much it.
