Mahesh Bhat

I am a Bangalore based photographer, photo educator, independent publisher and film maker. India is my canvas. I have been photographing the life and times of my country and parts of the sub continent for the last 25 years. I have been commissioned by publications as varied as New York Times to Newsweek of Japan – from over 20 countries. I love to do long term projects. UNSUNG – about people who have made extraordinary contributions to society against personal odds began in 2004. I published it in the form of a book in 2007. It helped raise over Rs.8.5 million for the causes of the heroes featured in the book. The second volume will be published soon.

From 2007, I worked on a book project on the city I live – Bangalore. Its a collection of projections from my conscious and subconscious mind. Through my photographs, I explored how the city had changed in the last 25 years. It is also an impassioned plea to support the arts and creativity to drive the true growth of Bangalore. I self publish my books and this book – Bangalore/Bengaluru – In First Person Singular is on the stands since February 2012. - http://www.maheshbhat.com/bangalore-book/
