Athira Krishnan
Food & Travel Photographer | Writer
Hey there,
I’m Athira - a photographer, writer, and third-culture creative currently based in Bangalore, India.
My journey began in Malawi, where I spent my childhood absorbing the warmth and rich landscapes of Southeast Africa, before moving to Dubai for my undergraduate studies.
Realizing early on that corporate life wasn't my path, I transitioned into full-time creativity. After my undergraduate studies and a brief interlude in New Zealand, I returned to Dubai to build a commercial photography practice centered on food, product, and travel storytelling, with a keen love for editorial shots.
These days, I’m exploring a new chapter in India - focusing on personal photo essays, landscape photography, and writing from a space of intentional living.
Whether you're here for visual stories, creative collaboration, or just a shared love for sunlight and slow living, I’d love to connect! Reach out to me at hello@athirakrishnan.com or connect over on Instagram.
Accepting new professional shoot bookings soon - in Bangalore, across India, and remotely
