Wishing everyone Shubho Ashtami 😇💫✨May the blessings of the Divine Mother protect y’all from crisis ♥️🌺
We in Bengal are celebrating the auspicious Durga Puja festival... We wait the entire year for this week to come, nothing matches or comes close to our love for this yearly celebration. Unfortunately, most of us are staying indoors. This year is exceptional... we are trying our best to adjust to the circumstances. Be kind, spread love.

Sharing a personal series, ‘New Mothers’ with you folks that documents a Mother who have given birth with 48 hours.. This project is very close to my heart; when the going gets tough, I revisit this project and everytime I come out stronger. Enjoy!

Happy International Men's Day, 2019. Mandate: "Making a Difference for Men and Boys"

From my Unpublished project, My heart goes out to all those men who have suffered in silence...

So thrilled and honored to be a part of the Photo Vogue Festival 2019
・・・
‘A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. Deconstructing Stereotypes’, the exhibition curated by and for the upcoming fourth edition of , at from November 14th to 17th.
Today we introduce , who is one of the artists on display selected by an internationally acclaimed jury; here’s a sneak peek at Supranav’s work, ‘Eros and its discontents’. About the project - This project explores the lives and desires of individuals from the LGBTQI+ community living in India. These photos see struggles of identity, hopes and dreams, pleasure, pains and rejections. The people in my images are treading a psychological minefield. Working with these people I find so much solace in the written works of Plato, Freud and Jung. These fields are crisscrossed with complexities that arise out of a religious, conservative, and homophobic Indian culture that is quick to marginalize and discriminate. The photographs of this body of work are witness to this subjugated community; they document the crest and trough of these lives. Talking with my subjects is important. Hearing their stories, and allowing them to be heard, it’s clear that as a q***r person in India it’s hard to complete school, get a college education, or a good job. And worse, many who are openly q***r express feelings of guilt caused by embarrassment to parents and siblings. Fearing social boycott, a lot of gay and bisexuals will suppress the truth and live lives lying to themselves and those they love.
