A travel photographer has a keen eye for catch-worthy-moments, travel enthusiasm, strength to carry their heavy camera gear and a strong will power to stay away from mobile and internet. According to you, what defines a travel photographer?Ī. As I am friends with a few of the famous photographers, I have also been influenced by their work. Quite a few famous photographers – Hari Menon, Anson Antony, Sanoj Kumar, Nirmal Harindran, Prajeesh, Vinod Kumar, ThulasI Kakkat , Sunil K R, Hashim Haroon – from the old generation to the new generation. Whose work has influenced you the most?Ī. There are also some PulI KalI ,and vallamkalI shots too. But I particularly love “Armor of God” from Kodungallor BaranI and my macro shots from 37B Macro Street. Is there one favorite shot among your collection?Ī. Nowadays I use my tablet to edit photos (my current camera supports wi-fI and I can easily transfer my shots to my tablet). I use to do it with Camera Raw and Photoshop. Being a travel photographer, what do you like the most?Ī. For the below shot that you have mentioned, I was just at the right time at the right place.
PRASANTH CHANDRAN PROFESSIONAL
My life as a PR professional has helped me interact with people easily. How do you engage with people and make them pose for you?Ī. Many of street work shows that you interact with them – rather than being a passive witness. Making a career out of travel photographer isn’t that easy. I haven’t made a decision on becoming a full-time photographer. And so far I have been able to manage it smoothly. Currently I shuttle between my travel photography and other works.
PRASANTH CHANDRAN FULL
Do you have any plans to move in to photography full time? How challenging is it to create a career out of travel photography?Ī. I see that you currently moonlight as a photographer. And since I am a travel photographer, I am always on the lookout for that catch-worthy-moment.
As I use Aperture Priority, setting the camera for the situation isn’t that difficult. I am curious to know how you prepare yourself and your camera to such situations.Ī. The biggest challenge for a travel photographer, from my viewpoint, is that catch-worthy-moments gets over in a split second. During your travels, what settings are your camera on? Is there any gear that you regret buying? Whenever I feel like and if there is any major event happening that I haven’t covered, I take my camera bag and tablet (because nowadays I using Photoshop Touch more).
When you go for your travels,what all do you take with you?Ī. Later on most of my friends started addressing me by the name Gulfu and my real name was hardly used by any. Since school days I have been called Gulfu by friends. Out of curiosity – what does Gulfu mean? And when did the name stuck?Ī. We are super excited to be in talks with the talented photographer who hails from Aluva, Kerala. His colorful creations are hard to ignore. He is a public relations professional moonlighting as a photographer trying his hands at various genres – macro, travel, portrait, light painting etc.
Prasanth (Gulfu) is a curious amalgamation of talents.
