Gajan Balan is a photographer and director who has made a name for himself producing films for clients around the world as well as regular viewers like us on YouTube. In this episode he returns for our second on mic chat to discuss image making, where he wants to take his career in 2026 and beyond, and of course, three more lenses!

More about this show:

A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
