I do not photograph what I see;
I photograph what I want to see…

Viren Brahmbhatt is an architect and a photographer based in New York City. He has traveled extensively and created a body of work that spans continents – from far-flung places in the East to Europe and closer to home, United States. An architect and urban designer practicing in New York City, his work represents various cultural geographies, mapped on human faces, places and life on the streets. His work has been focused on certain thematic areas from architecture, people, places, and landscape to cityscape and purely visual or graphical content created through the play of light and shadows. At times, the photographs simply celebrate darkness and light. Other recurring themes include urban typography and signs that make cities legible.

The photographs on this site represent just a portion of his work. They also represent a gradual journey into an artistic conception formulating the fundamental philosophical premise for his work. His photography bends the aesthetic notions about reality and “image as representation". The inherent nature of representation is replaced by more reflexive critique of photography itself that moves away from the ‘narrative’ to non-normative and abstract.
