My guest today is arguably India's most prolific cricket photographer, VV Krishnan. Over a long and storied career, he has captured some of the most iconic cricketing and sporting moments, on behalf of The Hindu. The photograph that brought his name to my attention was the legendary "Superman" run-out by Jonty Rhodes in 1992.    It surprised me that there was very information out there about VV Krishnan and the prompted me to talk to him about how he got started with sports photography, what it takes to make it in the business and how he has now transitioned into being a photo editor for a major national newspaper.   - -   Click the button above to Subscribe and click on the bell to be notified about new episodes.

The Chennai Photo Biennale has become one of the more important arts festivals in India and remains the only photography biennale in the country. The 2nd edition of the Biennale in 2019 expanded the scope of what was possible with excellent venues, international photographers and a series of skill building workshops. After the success of the first two editions, the organisers had to not only match expectations, but also had to work around the covid pandemic.  In part 1 of this conversation, my guests today are Gayatri Nair, Shuchi Kapoor and Varun Gupta, the core team behind CPB. As they gear up for the 3rd edition of the Biennale, they sit down with me to talk about this edition’s theme, what kind of work we can expect to see and their plans for photography scene in Chennai.

It would not be overstating it to say that the name synonymous with architectural photography in India is that of my guest: Bharath Ramamrutham. Considering the variety of work Bharath has done over the years, it was important to talk  about more than just photography. We talked about his love of architecture, his mental preparation for a shoot, the importance of diversifying one’s work, the essentiality of travel and so, so much more. - - - Watch full interviews or curated playlists with all our guests on our website: EverythingComesTogether.com CREDITS Guest: Bharath Ramamrutham (Photographer & Publisher) ( http://bharathram.com/ | http://www.graf.co.in/ ) ( www.instagram.com/bharathram ) Hosted by B.R.S.Sreenag (Sreenag Pictures) ( www.instagram.com/sreenag ) ( www.sreenagpictures.com ) Post-production: Thiruvikraman Srinivasaraghavan ( www.instagram.com/vikramist ) Production Assistance: Abdul Jeelani Music: Aashray Harishankar (Escapist Music) ( www.instagram.com/escapistmusic ) - - - Everything Comes Together is a podcast produced by Sreenag Pictures.
