Throughout his long and prolific career, Bharath Ramamrutham has created a body of work which has come to exemplify not only the purist approach to photography, but to many people the definitive pictorial statement on Indian architecture, design, and the Indian landscape. The prestige and popularity of his work is defined by his dedication to the technical perfection of this medium, and his emphatic focus on light and space. A stream of books, monographs and contributions to publications around the world during the past 25 years have indisputably established Bharath place in the eminent pantheon of master photographers.

Coupling strict discipline with the eagle-eye of an experienced architect, Bharath manages to capture not only the structure of buildings, but also the spirit, body, and soul of both traditional and modern Indian architecture. He has the unique capacity to incorporate the times and culture embodied in each piece of work, making his photographs strikingly distinctive.

Bharath’s envisioning of Graf originated from his many successful collaborations with a variety of prolific and passionate authors and publishers on a multitude of books. With his meticulous attention to detail, refined aesthetic sensibilities, and progressive design concepts, he was requested to provide end-to-end solutions for a range of discerning clients.

His photographs are featured in several paramount publications, which include Indian Design, Inside India, Temple Towns of Tamil Nadu, Chidamabaram, Elephanta, Marwar Paintings and Bombay Gothic to name just a small selection. Further, his images of India form part of the Incredible India campaign of the Dept. of Tourism, Government of India and campaigns of the Tourism Authority of Seychelles and Mauritius.
