Viduthalai Mani Dharmaraj

Sea Shores of Madras | I don’t like to explain my photographs. What my viewers take away from a photograph of mine I like to leave up to them. An image can bring forth different emotions in different people. I would like my photographs to be a conduit for the most felt ones.
I firmly believe that “It’s the small things that matter the most”. Every day in a city like Chennai (Madras as we like to call it) is a new adventure, every nook and cranny hides a million stories behind them. I enjoy the process completely, and it helps me to keep myself happy and creative in the mundanities of daily life.

BIO | My name is Viduthalai Mani Dharmaraj from Chennai, India, and I have working as a software professional. I was born and raised in a small village called Karuvakkurichi near Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu where I spent my childhood. I moved to Chennai for my Master’s, and have lived there ever since. I was married in Chennai too, and I live in the south of the city with my wife and our little daughter.
During school, I had an affinity towards drawing, which I used to do when attending classes and later at home. I remember that I enjoyed this, and used to draw quite a lot, which morphed into an interest in photography later in my life.
