==Biography==
He was born in [[Magadi|Magadi Village]] (near [[Bare, India|Bare]], India) [[Mysore]] (now part of [[Karnataka State]]). After an art-enriched childhood wherein he interacted with many stage personalities, B.S. Ranga entered the field of photography. At the age of 17, the self-trained Ranga sent some of his work to be exhibited at the [[Royal Salon]] in London, and was elected an Honorary Fellow of the [[Royal Photographic Society]].

Subsequently, he moved to [[Bombay]] (now [[Mumbai]]) and apprenticed himself to the cameraman and laboratory technician, [[Krishna Gopal]]. B.S. Ranga then embarked on a film career lasting more than five decades, during which he played the roles of cinematographer, director, producer, laboratory owner, studio owner, exhibitor and script-writer, sometimes all at once for one of his productions. His production company, Vikram Productions, gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, and won B.S. Ranga many awards, including two President's Awards. The first was for ''[[Tenali Ramakrishna (1956 film)|Tenali Ramakrishna]]'' in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] (starring [[N.T. Rama Rao]] and [[Akkineni Nageswara Rao]]), and the second was for ''Amarshilpi Jakkanachari'', the first colour movie produced in Kannada.
