He is a self – taught photographer internationally recognized for being the first photographer from India to showcase his works in Playboy magazine.

He has mastered the photographic representation of the human form while elevating the female body as the depiction of the universal feminine energy. The viewer is then provoked to follow a journey that goes deep into the psyche, unravelling the mysteries hidden in mind.
Capturing the alluring forms of the human figure with his technique of manipulating light the work of L. Ramachandran conquered art critiques and earned him international acclaim.

“When I see an unclothed woman, I do not see nudity; I see the beauty of nature, I see god in every female form”
“No distance should ever come between an individual and his dream.”
“I pick photography as my language; I let it scream louder when everything else kept silent.”
