Ankit Banerjee is a self-taught photographer and musician, with a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Statistics. His induction into photography was purely accidental. Over the past decade, he has worked extensively as a commercial photographer for fashion & lifestyle brands, art galleries, weddings across India.
As an artist, the camera is a medium for him to explore his relationship with insecurities. He believes that our mind, heart, and body are the only things that truly belong to us. Understanding and nurturing these primal possessions can build a sensitive and compassionate world.
Ankit is committed to creating deep, meaningful work to understand the fragility of interpersonal relationships and sexuality, through other people's stories. He also indulges in production of podcasts to satiate his love for conversations and soundscapes, and is currently aspiring for an audio-visual experience from the amalgamation of the two media.
