About Me
Hello, I'm Barath Krishna Swaminathan, recognized in the photography sphere as lens.apart_. Since the age of 13, I've been captivated by the art of photography, embarking on a journey that has led me to specialize in product photography.
My inaugural venture into professional photography commenced in 2023 when I undertook a photography assignment for a retail company specializing in crystals. This experience ignited my passion for product photography, setting the stage for my freelance career.
With an innate penchant for simplicity, I infuse my work with a minimalist aesthetic that speaks volumes about the essence of the products I capture. Specializing in crystals, watches, and footwear, my portfolio reflects my dedication to showcasing the allure and intricacies of these items.
Approaching each project with a collaborative mindset, I strive for meticulous attention to detail, regardless of the project's magnitude. Continual learning is at the core of my methodology; I immerse myself in understanding the intricacies of each product, ensuring that my craft evolves with each shoot.
Beyond the realm of photography, I am a fervent debater and an enthusiastic student of economics. Through my imagery, I endeavor to articulate emotions and narratives that transcend verbal expression.
While my academic journey has been adorned with accolades, my true fulfillment lies in the artistry of photography and the connections forged through visual storytelling.
