Rajan Mamtani

Born in 1985 in India, Rajan Mamtani has always been interested in images, especially photographic, as a means to a quest for identity. Growing up in India and New York, he couldn't help but notice all that is amazing next to all that is struggling; for example, in India its very hard for women, and also men, to do the unexpected. Mamtami has found that personal and historical moments can be both documented and manipulated through the use of photography. Rajan started taking pictures in India, where he became interested in historical as well as contemporary processes, as a way to capture the rich heritage left behind, while also digitally questioning the truth.
