This is my ongoing research on the photography history of India, with the aim of documenting the various photographic processes that were experimented with in the country over the years. By studying the work of early photographers in India, I hope to gain insight into the technical innovations and processes used to capture the country’s landscapes, people, and culture. Through this research, I also hope to showcase the diverse range of photographic techniques that have been employed in India and the ways in which these techniques have influenced and shaped the country’s visual history. Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the rich and complex history of Indian photography and to promote its continued study and appreciation.
