I am Chidambaram, An Architecture and interior photographer based in Bangalore. With a background in architecture, I spent four years in the field before fully transitioning to photography. Although I have been passionate about photography for over seven years, my initial focus was on street and travel photography, with occasional architecture and interior shoots. My desire to explore and capture the essence of various architectural designs grew stronger over time. Photography became my way of experiencing diverse buildings and styles beyond the limitations of designing one structure at a time. This passion for exploration and visual storytelling led me to pursue architecture photography as a full-time career. More Curious? Do checkout About me Page
