About Parvez Shaikh

Photographer Parvez Shaikh

I am a street and documentary-style photographer focusing on the fleeing moments of life around me. With mostly people in focus, my work results from observations of banal yet extraordinary everyday life.

I have worked as an IT specialist before abruptly bringing my career to an end in 2015. My journey in photography started in 2016 as I travelled around Asia, and I soon developed an attachment with street and documentary-style work.

With an emotional and humane approach at its center, my recent work has been a blend of moods that tries to bridge together my emotions with artistic expression and the value of documentation.

A keen observer, I am often found in the streets capturing the fleeing moments, sharing cups of tea with strangers, and learning a thing or two about life.

My first solo exhibition titled GOSAIKUNDA opened in August 2022 during World Photography Week at L&P Hutheesing Visual Arts Centre, Ahmedabad, India. In November-December 2023, my project Street Musings: Weave Your Own Stories was a part of Abhivyakti City Arts Project – V.

I am 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 my print store.
