In this episode of This Dude Started Something, Oliver and Brayden sit down with Aravind Krishnaswamy — a world-traveling photographer and longtime Google engineer whose breathtaking images have appeared on TVs around the world through Google’s featured photos program.
When he’s not building the future of technology, Aravind is deep in the wild capturing rhinos in South Africa, gorillas in Rwanda, and bears in Alaska — moments that blend art, patience, and adventure. The trio dives into how he balances life at Google with creative passion, how AI is reshaping photography, and why emotion still beats perfection in every image.
They also explore Aravind’s behind-the-scenes stories — from photographing a chest-beating silverback to explaining how his photos ended up on millions of screens. Whether you’re into photography, creativity, or the intersection of art and tech, this episode will make you see your camera (and your world) differently.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
