S. Krishna (Kannada: ಕೃಷ್ಣ) 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.
He's an alumnus of Government Film and Television Institute, Bangalore.
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. Krishna took up the challenge, and did the job admirably. The film was a box office success and one of the major contributors to its success was Krishna's cinematography. He was duly recognised by the Karnataka State Government when they named him the Best Cinematographer for the year 2006. Per Yograj Bhat, the director of the film, the cinematographer was his partner in crime for all risky and foolhardy propositions. Krishna maintains that since he had complete freedom to do as he liked, he could deliver his best.
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. Krishna did Haage Summane next, for Preetam Gubbi, one of the main collaborators in the film Mungaaru Male. Since then he's the frequent collaborator for all the Preetam Gubbi's films.
He also served as cinematographer for the film Raaj the Showman directed by Prem and starring Puneeth Rajkumar and Priyanka Kothari. Though the critics were not impressed with the film, Krishna's work was applauded by all. He then worked for Kempegowda, Kannada remake of Tamil Blockbuster Singham, which starred Sudeep in the lead and also directed by himself. Krishna had collaborated with Sudeep for the second time, after Ranga SSLC which starred Sudeep in the lead. The movie showed the hidden talented side of Krishna, who had experimented a lot in the movie and took the technicalities of the flick to another level. Supergoodmovies praised his work as "the camerawork stand out in the technical department. Krishna, who is otherwise known for wielding camera for mushy love stories does a good job in this action film. For a change, fights using safety cords look real. Krishna shows his ability also in song sequences.
