From whimsical photo illustrations to the messy, real-life process behind every project, this is where I bring ideas to life. ## Photos and videos - ![A whimsical photo illustration where I've added playful red pandas and temple bells to a photo of me in a traditional South Indian outfit.

A lot of my work happens here, in the digital and physical hybrid space, where I blend candid photos with hand-drawn illustrations. If you have a favorite wedding shot, a travel memory, or even a pet portrait you want to make a bit more whimsical, this is the kind of creative magic I play with in my studio. ### Behind the Process This collection is a little peek into how I work. When you see these hybrid illustrations, you are looking at layers of Procreate sketches blended with real-world photography. I love taking a simple, happy moment—like a quiet evening at a wedding or a fun travel throwback—and adding that extra layer of fantasy that makes it yours. ### Why No AI? People often ask about the clean lines and the surreal elements. Every single line you see here is hand-drawn. I have a strict 'no AI' policy because art is about the human story. Whether I am sketching a red panda into a temple scene or planning a complex mural, I want the imperfections and the deliberate choices to be visible. It is slower this way, but it feels right. ### How We Can Collaborate If you have been scrolling through these and thinking about your own memories, let's talk. You do not need a fully formed idea. Sometimes you just have a 'vibe' or a collection of photos you love. Send me your favorite shots, and we can figure out how to weave them into a piece of art that you can print, frame, or share. I work directly with you to ensure the final result captures the exact feeling you remember. ## About Rachita Burjupati I'm Rachita, and for me, art is just a way to hold onto memories. Whether I am painting a lehenga for a bride or turning your travel photos into illustrated stories, I keep it handmade and real. My studio is my happy place, and I would love to help you tell your story through art.
