krishna Biography

S. Krishna is an Indian cinematographer and film director who primarily works in Kannada films. He gave a new dimension for cinematography through his breath taking visuals in Mungaru Male which is considered as a romantic cult classic.

Career

Though Krishna's cinematography impressed people and the critics, he didn't come into his own until he did the challenging Mungaaru Male. The film was shot in 80% natural rain, generally not cinematography friendly. It also needed to be shot in other precarious conditions – like the dangerous, rocky top of the Jog Falls. After Mungaaru Male, Krishna went on to do a film with debutant director Harsha.A. Geleya did not have much scope for experimentation cinematographically, but the film's most popular track Ee Sanje Yaakaagide shot in slow motion was the high light of the film.

He also served as cinematographer for the film Raaj the Showman directed by Prem and starring Puneeth Rajkumar. He then collaborated with Duniya Soori for Kaddipudi starring Shivrajkumar and Radhika Pandit.

Direction Career

When he was at his peak of his career as a cinematographer he challenged himself to be a director. He directed Gajakesari starring Yash which broke all of the previous records of Yash thereby catapulting him as the next big star in the Kannada film industry. Gajakesari even won Karnataka State Film Award for Best Entertaining Film of the year 2014.

After Gajakesari Krishna took a break to work on his next project titled Hebbuli. Impressed with Krishan's talents Sudeep agreed to do one more project with the director. The project was named as Pailwaan. But the collections were hugely affected due to piracy. It was declared a super hit.

Personal life

Krishna is married to a well known Kannada television actress Swapna. They have a daughter and a son. He currently resides with his family in Bangalore.
