After a career doing both commercial and press photography, I became drawn to exploring the cities and villages of my native India, seeking out and photographing the people whose cultures and ways of life are quickly becoming lost in the contemporary, more homogenized world of today. Now based in the US but having lived in Africa, Nepal and India, where much of my work is focused, I have a unique connectivity to and understanding of my subject matter. I offer a perspective that looks both from the outside in and from the inside out. As an artist who sees myself as a global citizen, I seek to capture what is culturally familiar to me, yet present the image with an appreciation of how an outsider’s eye may see the peoples and cultures that I explore through my work. Rather than solely portraying the novelty, my focus is on presenting the humanity and allowing the viewer to relate to the subjects that I photograph in a way that they otherwise may never get to experience.
