Where Every Story Finds a Life
Exploring lives, cultures, and traditions through the lens of empathy and authenticity
Hi, I’m Vijay, a formalistic and non-formalistic photographer
To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed. It means putting oneself into a certain relation to the world that feels like knowledge-and therefore, like power.
- Susan Sontag
I create structured, concept-driven fashion editorial work, while also capturing the raw, unfiltered moments in documentary photography. I travel to many places and meet people from all walks of life, each with their own unique story, culture, tradition, and way of life. I love listening to their stories and experiencing their cultures, traditions, and societies. I also believe in giving them the chance to get to know me, so they feel comfortable sharing their experiences. Through this, I’ve learned how beautiful and unique everyone’s story is. I believe in the ethnographic process to truly understand people—it helps me discover their real selves. The most beautiful part for me is turning their stories into visuals. I always tell them, 'I believe in your side of the story.

These words deeply resonated with me. They illustrate the beautiful disconnect between what we perceive and what we understand. I share your perspective and find truth in your story."
A renowned writer once wrote
THE relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. Each evening we see the sun set. We know that the earth is turning away from it. Yet the knowledge, the explanation, never quite fits the sight.
