Karan Kapoor has been taking photographs for as long as he can remember. His lifestyle images are filled with an immediate energy and sense of vitality, and his background in reportage photography informs a very people-orientated shooting perspective.

2009 has been a busy year for Karan. His projects so far include work for Italian bank Che Banca, a pharmaceutical drug campaign for Estring with agency Draft FCB USA, a shoot with '60s supermodel Twiggy for Olay, the Liverpool One campaign with agency JWT, and a Surestart campaign for CMW London.

Karan was awarded first place in the People/Lifestyle category at the International Photography Awards 2009 for his winning entry 'Old Couple'. Four more of his images won honourable mentions in other categories.
