MEET THE TEAM:
Navdeep Saini
Navdeep Saini is a fine-art, fashion, portrait, and wedding photographer. Her journey towards the creative industry began when she was very young; she always knew she'd make a career in the arts. Photography, out of all mediums stood out to her since it was the perfect blend of reality and art. In time, she went to Ontario College of Art and Design University and graduated with a B.A. in Photography. Being heavily inspired by nature and the notion of "there's magic in everything", her personal work tends to show elements of imagination and fantasy. Even in her wedding work, although her main goal is to capture the couple's and their beloved guests' purest moments, she still keeps those inspirations present. In 2010, she got her foot in this industry as an assistant and editor. Swiftly, she became a freelancer for several years plus a lead at PhotoKitch for six. Now, and for the past 7 years at Shot by Kismet, she has been a lead photographer, lead editor, as well as the creative director on deck - bringing on board her artistic vision, high quality execution, and a can do attitude!
