Biography:
Bidyudipta Chanda is a documentary photographer based in Kolkata, India, who uses the medium as a tool to navigate the complexities of the modern world. His upbringing in a family displaced by India’s partition, paired with his coming-of-age in the thick of the Gen Z-zeitgeist, informs his dynamic portrayal of human experiences.
Bidyudipta is currently working with More To Her Story on a longform article about women's safety in India, collaborating with a writer to shed light on this critical issue. His recent completion of the Documentary Photography Workshop by Deepti Asthana in 2024 further refined his skills and approach to visual storytelling.
With a passion for exploring the confluence of genres, he is also captivated by innovative storytelling mediums. He strives to blend traditional art and writing forms with photography, creating work that transcends sensory boundaries and resonates on multiple levels.
Recent work:
He is currently covering the protests happening in Kolkata after the rape and murder of a 31yo female doctor inside a government hospital in the main city.
