I was born Rishiraj, but please call me Rishi. By day, I am a public health researcher, focussed on social determinants of health and nutrition outcomes. By mood, I am a photographer obsessed with India's streets and the people they consume.
When I’m not thinking about the social life of medicine, I’m either watching cricket or chasing a bowl of noodles.
This is my personal website, where work meets play. You will find photos from streets and stories I’ve walked through, and writing from my journalism days and since. If you wish to find meaning in my pictures, may I suggest a cold pilsner first?
If you'd like to chat about a potential photography project or exchange notes about anything I've written, please drop a hi at rishi.bhagawati@protonmail.com. I would love to discuss commissions or collaborations, especially if they involve a photo essay.
Btw, if you're in the mood to read today, maybe the pilsner should wait.
