Photography’s prominence in the representation and experience of
India in contemporary and historical times has not guaranteed it a
position of sustained attention in research and scholarship. For a
technology as all pervasive as photography, and a country as
colossal as India, this scenario is somewhat of an anomaly.
Photography in India explores elements of the past, present and
future of photography in the context of India through speculation
and reflection on photography as an artistic, documentary and
everyday practice. The perspectives of writers, theorists, curators
and artists are selectively brought to bear upon known as well as
previously unseen photographic archives, together with changes in
photographic practice that have been synchronous with contemporary
India’s rapid urban and rural transformation and the
technological shift from chemistry and light to programming and
algorithms. Essential reading for anyone interested in Indian
photography, this book binds insights into a history of photography
with its contemporary development, consolidating wide-ranging
thinking on the topic and setting the agenda for future research.
