Chasing Arun for past 3 months to get the Album/Videos. I lost my credibility by choosing Capture Crew. I'm not sure how long I need to chase. None of the committed dates were met.

One of the worst decisions of my life was choosing this person for my party photoshoot.

ONE WORD REVIEW:
UNPROFESSIONAL; robbed 30k off me with new excuses every single time I call him for a decent party video which I never received

CAUTION:
Please prefer someone else who is ethical even though a tad expensive

DETAILED REVIEW:
It all went well with the pre-booking by May 2022 and the party photoshoot too went well by June 2022 followed by the candid shoot by July 2022. I kept paying him on time every time he asked me without holding any payments.

The aftermath is a total catastrophe,

The edit and the BG setting of the photos were amateur (uneven frames); even college students would do better; would be happy to share proof (photos) of the same

The edit and color tone is inconsistent since even my skin looked fair and dark in alternate photos

Took almost 7 months to even give us our album and a pen drive with video
This is quite a story cause he doesn't come and give it. We need to go in person and not to his office but to the middle of somewhere waiting on the road late night after 8 PM and Mr. Arun would casually come up, gives the album with the $#!tty video in the pen drive and vrooms away

Speaking of the video, I'm at loss of words to even understand how lazy he could be do edit a party video

Firstly, he doesn't give a complementary photo frame; he gives it to some other better photo studio and gets his job done. If that is the case, I could've hired that person in Pallavaram to get my frame done.
And to get that photo frame, we need to drive to some other photo studio, refer Mr. Arun's name, wait for a while and get the frame on our own. Mr. Arun is quite a busy person to even get that job done for us.
What's worse is I listened to whatever he said and kept doing it as a courtesy. The videos were large (agreed) and he asked for a hard disk to load them into. I drove 30km all the way to AVM studios to give his friend the hard disk and that person left the place without even giving a call. I was still optimistic and gave him a call and he asked me to deliver the hard disk to Best studio, Pallavaram. That was the last I saw my hard disk back then.

Secondly, he doesn't edit videos; he gives it to one of his acquaintances and that person delegates it to some of his apprentices and the end product is $#!t. What was asked was a video with the song Yaanji and what was given was a video with Yaanji YouTube lyrical with all the dialogs running in the BG - WHISKEY LARGE WITH ICE, (I believe this would strike a nerve for the so called capture crew Arun)

Thirdly, I don't know if he understands the term INSTRUMENTAL; No matter how many times we say it, he will still do it the way he wants to. If that is the case then why don't you Mr. Arun, pay for what you edit, why are we the host here

And after 2 edits, Mr. Arun would say - Sir I can't edit anymore as if his previous edit was the work of reputed film editors. Guess what, I wasn't given a copy of even those videos since he claims that the video link was expired from Google drive (as if he doesn't have access to them)

I lost all my willpower to follow up with him. What was committed was a HD and montage video which I'm yet to receive and it was April 2023. Moreover my hard disk is still with him. He still avoids my call citing hospital reasons every month.
I keep calling him and texting him everyday and all he does is pay a deaf ear to it.

After repeated followup, I reached one of his acquaintance and he gave me his colleague's number. And guess what, Mr. Arun way intentionally not picking up my calls (as expected) and wasn't willing to talk too; reckon he held my hard disk as a hostage. I'm at least glad that the hard disk was empty. That irked me a lot and I decided to lodge a complaint at Alandur S1 police station since it was clear that Arun is a cheat.

Not sure what worked later but after a week he sent out my hard disk to the videographer and he helped me with getting my raw video of my party. What's surprising is people who work with him too knows he's unethical!!!
Phewww!!!!

Feel free to reach me at rpgk.gun@gmail.com where I could provide all the screenshots as proof for my communication with him.

VERDICT:
Not all the glitters are good. Just because he has a fancy profile doesn't make him a professional photographer.
Communication is the key and he is $#!t at it.

I gave a Photo & Videography order at BKN Auditorium at Veppery for my Engagement. Mr.Arun Kumar taken a Photography for my Engagement. Really a Nice person Because he gave a Engagement Budget for Just Rs.20000/-. Its really Unbeliavable Cost. For Both the Photo & Videography he gave a Budget for me.

They had captured all small cute little things that you would sit and cherish for years.. The photo album comes in a teak wooden box which gives you a royal feel along with a personal note which was close to my heart.. Just go for it and the team gives you the best..

Place:K.M Hall-Palavakkam wonderful photographer that we would not hesitate to recommend to any one. My wife and I were initially very worried about our wedding photos and how they'd turn out as we are both not the most comfortable in front of a camera. Until we met them He made us so comfortable and was the most perfect photographer. He managed to capture the perfect amount of staged and candid photos and even included some very funny ones that sum up our relationship perfectly. The only problem we have encountered is trying to choose our favourites, because there are just so many amazing shots. Thank You so Much Mr.Arun Kumar

Capture Crew did an incredible job for my wedding, engagement, reception and pre-wedding videos. Their service was the best that I've ever experienced when working with videographers/photographers in Chennai/ India. They were professional, friendly, so helpful and I did not have to worry about a thing during the process. I would highly recommend hiring Studio F3 for any of your creative needs, for any event. The team is amazing! Thank you so much Capture Crew Thanks Mr.Arun Kumar
