PERSONAL STATEMENT

banarnphoto.co.uk or Thamanna, is a photographer, videographer and creative director and producer working across fashion, music, and television.
My work is about more than capturing an image - it’s about building a visual world that tells a story, whether through editorial shoots, live performances, or on-set collaboration.
Alongside my work in fashion and music, I’ve worked in the props and art departments for TV, giving me a deep understanding of how visuals, objects, and environments shape a narrative. That background informs my approach behind the camera - I see images not just as isolated frames, but as part of a bigger creative vision.
I’ve developed a portfolio that bridges fashion campaigns, music culture, and screen production, working with artists, brands, and broadcasters to create visuals that feel both authentic and elevated. Whether I’m producing a concept, styling a set, or capturing a performance, I bring a mix of creativity, organisation, and world building to every project. I have a number of creative avenues, and this website showcases some of examples of this.
For me, photography and production are about collaboration - pulling ideas together, finding the right people, and making work that resonates. I’m always excited to connect with musicians, designers, directors and creatives who want to push boundaries and bring bold ideas to life.
