Hi, I am Abhishek N. Chinnappa. I am an independent editorial photographer, journalist and multidisciplinary storyteller in South India. Over time, I have developed a critical eye for examining larger political, social, environmental, and cultural issues, which enables me to deliver sincere content.

I worked as a photojournalist for the global news wire Reuters for six years, covering various topics, from politics, conflict, and the economy to lifestyle and sport.

My work, which a senior editor at Reuters termed ‘fresh and intelligent,’ has been published in some of the most credible and reputed newspapers, magazines, and digital editorial spaces worldwide.

With a degree in English Literature, I spent seven years as the media liaison to a global spiritual leader in the Himalayas before pursuing a career in photojournalism.

I am trained in Hostile Environment and Emergency First Aid Training (HEFAT) for journalists, and I am available for assignments in India and beyond. I bring a passion for creating honest and impactful visual storytelling.
