Meet photographer Vinodh Baluchamy who prints photographs on fresh leaves

The technique is called chlorophyll printing and the Tiruvannamalai- based photographer has been doing it for the past 10 years

How would you like your favourite memories transferred on to leaves? A decade ago, Vinodh Baluchamy learnt that photographs can be printed on fresh leaves. “I was reading a book and stumbled upon the subject. To know that we can create photo prints with simple things from Nature was a revelation. The process is called chlorophyll printing and it makes use of the natural green pigment in the leaves to create images,” he says. Vinodh is a professional photographer and is founder of Yaa Studio, an experimental photography studio in Tiruvannamalai.
