Athul Prasad (b. 1995, Trivandrum, India) is a London-based photographer and filmmaker working across documentary, portraiture and lifestyle. Raised in Kerala, in the southernmost part of India, he turned to photography as a way of exploring the undiscovered. His first significant project, Kushti, documenting wrestlers at India's oldest akhada, led to a two-year collaboration with Condé Nast Traveller India as photo editor and photographer in residence, redefining the magazine's visual voice. Since then his fascination with photographing what he calls the romance of the world has led to commissions from Travel + Leisure, Architectural Digest, Tatler, National Geographic, Outlook Traveller, DestinAsian and FT HTSI, and campaigns for Google, Vice and OnePlus, subjects ranging from colour contrasts in bacteria to the Dalai Lama amid the Himalayan foothills. His work has been exhibited at the Griffin Museum of Photography and Mall Galleries, London, and he is an alumnus of the London College of Communication.
