For Karan Kumar Sachdev, a Mumbai-based photographer, visual essays are a means to step outside his world and enter another’s. People and their environment are a recurring motif in his compositions, which release a melange of sentiments and stories confined behind thought-provoking themes. The artist's works have been featured in exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery in London, LeBook Connections in Paris, and the British Journal of Photography, among others. Aside from the spectacular symmetry of his photos that immediately captivates the audience, the finale of Karan’s works leaves them contemplating society’s obsolete prejudices against equality and diversity, powerfully and succinctly showcased in his works for Obeetee, Huemn, and Bhaane. Moreover, Karan's perspective toward his subjects also meanders through other profound observations. It moves from documenting the overwhelming emotions of children elicited by a competitive spirit on a football field to the celebration of artisans involved in the culmination of masterpieces prized by millions of people worldwide—the Royal Enfield. He has also worked with renowned brands like Studio Renn and Victory Journal etc. His upcoming project is with Smokelabs, titled To the Baigas He Gave The Forest - a documentation that unravels the significant relationship between man and nature and the reciprocity of their existence that leaves behind a sweet reverie.
