Education


I work with development organisations engaged in the field of education, on a variety of visual content including photo-documentations, photo-stories and coffee table books. These visual projects portray the context of children's lives, the need for equity in education, roadblocks to achieving learning outcomes and the efforts needed to bridge the gap to ensure the same. Aid India-NSE Foundation, English Language Foundation and Naandi Foundation are some of the organizations whose impactful projects I have had the privilege to be associated with.
