What’s your name and what you do?
My name is Sadanand. Photography started as a hobby in 2010, gradually became serious by end of 2011 and I was into photoshoots and weddings since then. I left my job in IT in 2016 and I am a full time photographer, residing in Bangalore. I do not own a studio. There are many talented friend-photographers and video guys who come together when we have an event to cover. I mostly work under the brand name DREAMSHOT.
What time of the day and week do you upload youtube videos?
Well, I usually upload in the noon or evening. I am currently not so inconsistent with respect to a time – day of the week but manage to upload 1 video a week OR 3 videos in 2 weeks at least. Hopefully, I maintain a specific day and time some day..!!
Is this an English OR a Hindi channel?
This channel started as an English channel. However, there seemed to be an increase in Hindi speaking audience. After a poll, I confirmed that the videos will be in Hindi. For the English audience I have subtitles. For my own ease and for the sake of youtube algorithms I keep the titles, descriptions and my comments in English. Also, since I am not a native Hindi speaking person I do add some English phrases and sentences to make it easy on myself, making it a Hinglish channel.
How do we know when a new video will be uploaded?
It will be updated in the community page a few hours before it is uploaded or the previous day. Sometimes, I discuss a topic on the community page before I share the video on that topic. I am planning to update it on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
How can we contact you? Do you have a phone number/ Email ID OR any medium that we can connect with you directly?
Well, my email and phone number is currently for my clients, collaboration and sponsorship communications only, though it is available in public domain.
Currently, the place for all the queries for subscribers is my YouTube channel ONLY. You can either comment on any video or on my most recent post on community tab.
I cannot guarantee a response. I can only try my best.
Call/Whatsapp: I am usually busy with my personal and professional work and don’t entertain any support on call/whatsapp.
Can we contact you in Instagram and Facebook?
The only place to ask queries is Youtube. However, you can follow me on Insta and Facebook and ask questions about a specific photo, under the comment section of that photo. I will try to respond as soon as it is possible for me.
I have a query in a comment. I still did not get an answer. Why?
There can be many reasons like:
1.YouTube has filtered them out due to some phrase or word that it considers spam.
2. I am unable to understand the query.
3. The question is too open ended.
4. You may be expecting the response soon. Consider 3-4 days is average time for response.
How can I get the response faster?
Well, I am usually active during the first 5 hours after a new video is uploaded. Most likely you get a response in minutes if I could understand your query.
Do you manage to respond to all queries?
Well, I am not a full time You-tuber. The motive of my channel is to help beginner photographers. When a query is asked by many, I make videos on that so that it helps everyone. It’s not easy to respond to all queries. More the subscribers, more difficult it is. I try my best to respond when I get time in between my work.
Why don’t you do unboxing OR comparison with real tests and sample photos ?
It consumes time and money. I can only take it up with right sponsorships and products. I hope to do it soon.
Do you have plans to do a LIVE video?
Yes, Soon.. But not sure when.
Do you have plans to Vlog?
A vlog can be a part of my future videos for specific topics.
Do you have plans to conduct photography workshops?
Yes, In collaboration with a good event management company, someday.!!
