Hi, I am Cian (Sarath) — a marketer and photographer, based in Genova and working across Europe. With Frames I capture the afternoons people actually lived: the walk, the laugh nobody planned, the light at the hour the lanes go quiet. Liguria is home; the rest is a train or a flight. Tell me where you'll be.

Sarath was truly so kind and his photography skills are amazing! My fiancé and I took our save the date photos in Riomaggiore Cinque Terre and Sarath was so helpful in ensuring he captured our image and what we wanted while also giving his suggestions and guiding us to different locations to get the most beautiful pictures. The photos came out absolutely beautiful and we could not be happier!

I want to start off by saying I normally don’t write reviews. But for Sarath, I had to. I booked the 1.5 hour proposal photo shoot in Monterosso. Sarath was absolutely wonderful, couldn’t have been any better. He began working with me months before the special day. Staying in constant communication to make me feel comfortable and confident as a first time traveler to Italy. Leading up to the big moment, he arrived early, to help me test out the backdrop and clear the perfect area. After she said yes, we traveled all around the town and onto the beach, getting so many different pictures. He even stayed past his time to get some specific shots my now-fiancée imagined. Sarath is extremely experienced and not only was his work of the highest standard, but he is also a kind and wonderful person to be around. I highly recommend booking Sarath for your next photo shoot! - Alex, USA

I’ve had in mind proposing to my girlfriend in Cinque Terre for so long. Finding Sarath here, on AirBnb helped me a lot with the whole process. Sarath was very communicative, super friendly and just so helpful. With his help, we managed to find the proper spot for the proposal and make it a memorable moment for me and my fiancé. I only have good words to say about Sarath and his professionalism. Surely a 10/10 photoshoot and a 10/10 experience with Sarath! I would recommend him with all my heart! The best there is!

Sarath was a fantastic photographer for our engagement in Cinque Terre. He worked with me to plan the perfect surprise for my fiancé, and helped pivot last minute when the sun was too bright in the spot that I had picked out. Afterwards, he took us around town (Monterosso) and took more amazing photos in spots we would have not known to go ourselves! I highly recommend Sarath for any photography needs in the Cinque Terre area!

Well first off, I just want to say that Sarath is a professional at his job in every aspect. He was punctual, sweet, knowledgeable of the area, thoughtful, caring and made our gender reveal truly magical. He captured amazing photos in Riomaggiore(we decided to stay there for the duration since my girlfriend was pregnant) but we got a lot of variety and different scenery. He always made sure to ask of our input as we were taking the photos to make sure we were both happy. We even sent him ideas before hand and he incorporated them within the photo shoot. Overall, very wonderful experience with a wonderful person. You get your moneys worth and even more!
