The Journey of Photo Studios in Nepal – From History to the Present
The history of photo studios in Nepal dates back to the Rana regime, when photography was practiced within the private quarters of the ruling elite. However, the modern studio photography business officially began after the establishment of democracy in 1951 (B.S. 2007), when King Tribhuwan’s personal photographer, Mr. Bishwadhwaj Pradhan, established Grand Photo Studio at Maru Ganeshsthan, Kathmandu.
At that time, photo studios were equipped with
-
Studio lights, cameras, backdrops, and props
-
And required a darkroom for photo development using analog technology.
All photo paper, chemicals, and equipment were imported from India.
The primary photography services during that era included:
-
Passport photos
-
Visa application photos
-
Couple portraits
-
Family photographs
