Parvez Shaikh [b. 1989] is a photographer whose work results from the observations of banal yet extraordinary everyday life. His body of work reflects a deep emotional response, blending artistic expression with the value of documentation. Navigating the realms of moody, abstract, and evocative representation, he portrays both the lives of others and his own.
His first solo exhibition titled GOSAIKUNDA opened in August 2022 at L&P Hutheesing Visual Arts Centre, Ahmedabad, India. In 2023, his project Street Musings: Weave Your Own Stories was a part of Abhivyakti City Arts Project – V. Parvez’s work has appeared in The Nepali Times and Condé Nast Traveller magazines. His photographs are regularly featured on VSCO.
Parvez enjoys talking about the power of photography. He conducts photography workshops and regularly hosts talks to engage with his audience. He also runs Phillum – a project to build a welcoming space for photography enthusiasts through film screenings, photo walks, informal gatherings, and other activities.
In 2025, Parvez founded life experiences brand Poets And Pilgrims. It offers slow, experiential travels among other activities designed to help slow down, encourage curiosity, learn skills, cultivate hobbies, and foster human bond.
A keen observer, Parvez is often found in the streets capturing the fleeing moments, sharing cups of tea with strangers, and learning a thing or two about life.
Parvez is available for commissioned projects, assignments, collaborations, discussions about photography, photo walks, and workshops.
Upcoming and past photowalks/workshops are listed here. Select photographs are now available as limited edition fine art prints on his print store.
