The neighbourhood photo studio — three generations later

We've been the family photographer since 1975.

Chandra Studio opened in Gujarat, India, photographing dignitaries, celebrities and thousands of families. Fifty years and three generations later, the same obsession lives in Sudbury, Ontario.

No idea is too small or too big — if it involves a camera, we can do it.

One roll of film, fifty years long

Third generation, first in Canada

"I didn't start a business. I continued one."

My grandfather opened Chandra Studio in 1975. My father made the name mean something. I arrived in Canada as a student with a camera and a family standard to keep — and turned it into Chandra Digital: international experience, local professionalism, and pricing that respects your budget.
