About

It is true that anybody can take a picture but only a photographer can bring it to life…

I’m Arvind Karthik. I’m a fashion and still life photographer based on India.

After graduating engineering, I entered into the field of photography and visual arts. I studied advertisement and commercial photography but always felt that wasn’t enough.

A good artist sees the unseen, untold and unsaid, he unfolds the stories of the universe hidden in the form of nature by capturing it forever. So, I started exploring visual impact of colours and light on human brain and human perception of a still image. I came to know that there are several scientific reasons why certain pictures & paintings from few great old masters are impactful and provoke emotion to humans while many other pictures doesn’t have the same level of impact on viewers.

Now I try to apply those techniques and work across India in various cities, from Chennai to Delhi.

About the style of how I work, I’m kind of old school and output oriented. I shoot tethered, camera mounted to tripod, one frame at a time for 90% of my works.

I’m the Creative Director & Proprietor of our media company, MatteBox Studio. I’m also the Co-founder & Director of Advertising Media Company - Alai Media Private Limited.
