I am a Singapore based published photographer/author focusing on digital art, as well as portraiture, street, landscape and wildlife photography. I call myself a life long student of photography who does not like being categorized in any one genre. I always say photography is a learning  process and one learns something new from everyone provided you are willing to look and listen.

I had a natural flair for photography since childhood, studied it in school, followed by self- learning and workshops over the last decade. More recently I has honed my skills through photography expeditions around the globe ,  which  include  major  wildlife  destinations  in  India,  Sri Lanka and Africa. I am also a  graduate from  the New York Institute of Photography and am presently an OLYMPUS Visionary(Brand Ambasador)

​

To me photography is an art - A true medium of  self-expression. After my visits to Ladakh  in northern  India I was inspired to do  my  first  coffee table  book, “Swades; Ladakh:  The Land of  Splendour”, published by Knowledge  World Publishers, in September 2010, to  showcase the beauty of the region. To  travel  with  me on one of my adventures, I can be contacted at ranjan@ranjan.photography.

​

I have thereafter  been  covered  and  published in  various  media  in India  and overseas - Sanctuary Asia Publication, Green  Leaf, BanyoPran and Outdoor Photographer. Recently the WWF has also used his images in their campaigns.

​

My work has been exhibited through a number of shows:
1. Solo show “Blow Horn”, by Arushi Arts, New Delhi, India, 2011
2. Curated for the group show “Harvest 2011”, New Delhi, India, 2011
