Seize Life
Many years ago on a cold day in Washington D.C. in the vast Arlington Cemetery, Hariharan clicked into his passion. He snapped a picture on a simple Kodak camera... A picture that thrust him head-first into a passionate study of light, emotion and point-of-view. This moment was to shape his future development into filmography and photography.

Trained formally in Art & Design, Hariharan picked up fashion photography as a reflexive means of making social commentary about media portrayal.

But the space was crowded with thousands of photographers.  Hariharan self-taught and mastered 360* virtual tour photography and introduced new contextual techniques so as to create his own unique stamp of creativity in this highly technical form of photography which opened the doors to many North American commercial and tourism client.

Hariharan's style, though subtle on the shoot itself, is intended to evoke an intense emotionalism with a powerful combination of directorial realism and aggressively graphic signature. The play of light, the details of surroundings, the power of passion and improvisation, he has begun to notice how all these elements have informed his own creativity. Looking at his work now, it is hard to imagine how he could have harnessed it all so symbiotically.

Hariharan has worked on projects with members of the fashion, commercial advertisement and corporate industries on various photography and film projects. Hariharan says, "Nothing has ever interested me as much as film-making and photography does."

Hariharan apprehends life, love, desire, beauty, longing, happiness, sadness, reality, make-believe... The world... Through his lens.

Allow Hariharan to move you with his still images and freeze you in your tracks with his gripping moving-image filming style.
