(01)About

Srirama Murthy Chellu photographs places in whatever light is already there. Based in Los Angeles and driving wherever the road goes . Every trip ends the same way: one archive, and a few favourite frames.

(02)Why I shoot

I’ve been hooked on cameras since I was a kid.

I was the kid obsessed with tech, renting a Canon 700D in my teens. Then cameOnePlus phones, and now it’s the iPhone 17 Pro withfilm simulations. I document the everyday stuff on purpose. This part of life doesn’t come back, and I want to be able to find it again. Every frame here is still that kid, finding out what a camera can see. And he’s still trying to decide on his first camera.

I take pictures so I don’t forget. We only get to be this young once.

If I’m taking your picture, it means I love you. That’s the whole reason.
