ABOUT...

I am a freelance photographer based in Boston, MA. My early works were influenced by my formal training in architecture with a stereotypical fascination for patterns, colors, light and texture - it was just too much trouble to accommodate humans within the frame unless otherwise they were instrumental as a scale reference for appreciating the spatial dimension. But then we all grow up...and I started photographing my friends who were becoming brides, grooms and eventually parents.

Of late, I find myself drawn more towards portraiture and event photography - to be able to capture those fleeting moments of  joy, tenderness, reflection, intensity and bewilderment was suddenly more interesting and gratifying than capturing those sharp shadows and on textured concrete surfaces. Old biases die hard and I am still partial to shooting in daylight. But my foray into dance photography is ushering exciting (and expensive!) possibilities with strobes and studio lighting.

Over the next few years I hope to explore the challenges of photographing the dynamic dimensions of Bharatanatyam and other classical Indian dance forms...where the shutters doesnt rest with gracefulness of perfect form and the rigor of emotive gestures, but also ventures to capture those temporal and rhythmic trajectories of bodies in space.

WHERE DO YOU SHOOT YOUR PORTRAITS?

Individual and small group portraits are shot at my studio in Jamaica Plain (JP) in Boston. For larger dance photoshoots we may have to hire a dance studio separately at an additional cost.

WILL YOU TRAVEL?

Depends on the job. Preferred travel radius: within 100 miles from Boston

HOW DO I HIRE YOU? WHAT ABOUT PRICING?

Every job is unique and I dont have any standardized formula for pricing. However, I shall be happy to provide you with a customized quote for your requirement, within two business days. Please call 510-6660777 or email purpleganesh(at)gmail(dot)com with your specific requests.

DO YOU VOLUNTEER/OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR NON-PROFITS?

Yes, I do..for those organizations I deeply relate to and care about.

WHATSUP WITH PURPLE-G

Unfortunately nothing too intriguing. I happen to like the color purple..and I think 'purpleganesh' has a nice ring to it..

...and frankly Ganesh Ramachandran Photography sounds pretty darn boring and its way too lengthy to name a business.
