Recommended prints

The ones I would hang first.

Every frame in this portfolio exists as a signed print — edition of ten, numbered, never repeated. Prices rise as each edition sells: the earliest collectors get the best of it. These are the frames I reach for myself.

The materials

Printed on archival matte paper with deep, quiet blacks, or Hahnemühle Daguerre canvas for a gallery presence. A lifespan measured in generations, not years.

The edition

Ten prints per frame, ever. Each is hand-signed and numbered. When an edition closes, it never reopens.

The delivery

Shipped rolled in an archival tube, ready for framing. Free within India; worldwide at cost.

About Krishna

Made in the forests of southern India.

Krishna Karthikeyan in the field

It started with The Jungle Book — a kid mesmerised by the woods, half convinced Bagheera and Baloo were out there waiting. That kid eventually bought a camera. He never really put it down.

I led the photography club at college, and somewhere between then and now the forests of southern India became the centre of my life — where the herds move like weather and the cats let you see them only when they choose. The wild has taught me more than anything else I can name. It has shaped the person I am.

There is no better feeling than watching the wilderness simply be itself. I count myself blessed for every hour of it — and grateful to the people who walked this path with me, helped me along it, and inspired me with their own work.

The Mystical Wild is what I bring back: chapters of a forest that owes nobody anything. Every frame was made in the wild, on its terms — and exists as a signed print in an edition of ten.

If a frame stayed with you, write to me. Every enquiry is answered personally.
