Originally from Madurai, TamilNadu. I am a software engineer by profession. A complete amateur with loads of interest and passion for fotography. My passion for fotography originated from my fascination towards cinematography. Started fotography as my hobby during late 2007. Have been spending much time on this hobby since then :)

Fotography made me realize that there are more beautiful things around us than we think... you just have to see it... Though I love capturing anything & everything, my personal favourite is twilight & candids.

I have been lucky to have some great photographers as my contacts in flickr. Its been a wonderful journey so far. I wish I could do fotography as full-time job :)

I love meeting new amateur fotographers, so please feel free to drop me a email anytime. Comments are much appreciated, be it positive or negative

    "I must say, for the short time that i've been on Flickr, I was lucky enough to come into contact with Rathan. He has constantly been encouraging me with an uplifting and positive comments on my photos. I am a great fan of his work as well. As many others will tell you, Rathan's style is cunning and unpredictable. Everytime you open his photostream, you never know what type of photo you're going to come across. My favorite photo of his is "The Sky... The Line... and the Skyline...."

    I just want to say, thanks for all your feedback, and keep up the good work!

    Brandon Godfrey"

    "Raj, is an Awesome Photographer and one of my good friends i made through Flickr!! I like the way he analyzes and comments about every photograph in any of his friends photostream. They will be very effective and will surely help the photographer improve more!!
    He is one such friend, who takes time to go through everyone's photostream and post his effective comments on all of them ( yah even if there is more than 1 upload per person!! :D) even when he is busy!!

    He is got an AMAZING Photostream.. I Love his post processing as equal as his shot... I enjoy his Twilight and Night Photography the best!! Each and every shot of his makes me go WOW!! His Candids and Portraits are equally awesome too!!! :)

    His self portrait pic speaks a lot about him! :D.He is got a Gangster Look and a Killer Smile...!!!! :)))

    It is really nice knowing you Raj.. !! Keep clicking more and posting new ones everyday!! :) Will look forward to meet you soon !! :) Take Care and Wish you luck in everything!!! :)"

    "Rathan is a great guy to know and speak to. A very kind hearted man, who has astounding photography skills. His range is so diverse that every picture that he posts, always surprises me. The portraits of everyday that Rathan captures are very beautiful and mind blowing. It makes me wish i was in the picture, instead of looking at it from my computer. I hope you all see the skills that Rathan has, and enjoy his beautiful collection of portraits on his photostream.:)"

    "RaRaRaj is one of the most interesting characters I have met through flickr. His style so diverse and unpredictable. Everytime you think you have understood his style he suddenly jumps up with something drastically different. Clearly a dreamer :). This guy takes all the time to look through every single image in your gallery and provide feedback which not many of us have the patience to do!! Keep clicking tamil bro!"
