  L Ramachandran Lakshmanan

Galaxies and its vast, complex structures are invisible for human's naked eye. Human vision restricted up to certain point.Photographer L Ramachandran has imagined his surreal universe filled with VIBGYOR-inspired pigmented colours and effects. In this suite of work, strange female forms communicate within themselves through geometrical and abstract lines on their bodies. It's lead them give signals to connect within galaxies. This artful conception portrays an imaginary appearance of divine creatures.The eyes are unfathomable despite being closed. Their soul represents the twinkling star that is obscure. Unexplained aura draws people to endless arcane. The extrinsic unconcealed shape, twists and twirls feast the viewer's eyes like the dance of aurora borealis.

Am LRamachandran first Indian representative photographer for the Playboy magazine. And my work got released in other international magazines like maxim, Vogue etc., My creative way of captures the alluring forms of the body with artistry and dexterity that the line between craft and art dissolving to make the distinction fluid, the technique of manipulating light becomes an opportunity for a double play: it amplifies the concept of illusion and the sensuous rich erotic visual forms.My lighting style always in extreme chiaroscuro or the contrast of light and dark.
