Creative Hut College Creative Hut Academy
Formerly Creative Hut Institute of Photography and Film. Photography and Cinematography College in India.

Creative Hut Academy, formerly Creative Hut Institute of Photography and Film is India’s first Photography Institute with a unique educational system based on Gurukulam. The institute was founded in 2007 and is now located in Mattakkara, Kerala to give its students an ancient traditional education showing love and respect towards nature. Since 2007, it's beginning in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, as

the years go by, our dream continues to grow. The Institute is located on the banks of a river commonly known as “Pannagam Thodu” at Mattakkara which is 18 Km from Kottayam, “the City of Letters” which is now also known as "Picture City". The blowing of the winds, the flowing of the river, the rhythm of rain, the changing clouds, and the ever foliage make you experience the most natural sounds and colors of nature. Being a photogenic place, it helps you work in different lighting conditions and angles that give each photo a new vibrant art scene. We are humbled by the support of our enthusiastic mentors, glad about the success of our students, and thankful to all well-wishers who contributed in making our dreams possible. What led us in our journey was a dream to create a place where creative people could learn how to take their passion forward and make it their career.

“If you are passionate about your dream in Photography, Cinematography or AI Films, then we will craft your dream come true”

Being humble, is a quality to be treasured.
Being silent and still conveying the stories is something that needs patience, perseverance, and consistency.
You might not get everything in the first take.
What is more important is to keep going on the right path, make efforts with the right purpose, and never give up.
Simple and humble should not be by force...
It should be by choice....
And with that simplicity when your work gets noticed, appreciated and acclaimed; you find yourself with confidence and dignity...

Over nearly four months, what began as a project slowly turned into something much deeper. It was built through countless field interactions, real conversations with people, moments that couldn’t be scripted, and decisions taken under pressure, on ground.

From early morning shoots to long nights of editing, every frame carried a piece of that journey. Our sincere gratitude to all the Booth Level Officers - Sanjai S Nair, Sreeja M S, Martin Kuruvilla, Sush*tha Kumary VP, Renjith Raj, Shyam Kumar KS, Sudheer V.

When food tells a story before you even take a bite...This is what happens when learning goes beyond theory.
It’s not about memorizing settings or formulas… it’s about seeing, feeling, and translating that vision into images.

A***n Gupta from Uttar Pradesh captured this stunning food photography series at Creative Hut; all natural textures, earthen vessels, warm light, and the kind of depth that makes you hungry just scrolling past.
Amid too many experiments going on all around, these are with No filters, and No shortcuts... Just real craft, real food, and real learning.
This could be your story too...
