Ajay Rajgarhia

Ajay Rajgarhia (b. 1967) has always looked at life with a different angle. He listened to music, for the lyrics, rather than the rhythm. Watched movies to explore the behind-the-scene story than the one on screen. There has to be more to this, was his common refrain. One, which led him to study in the US, graduating in 1990. Working in Investment Banking, then, quitting it all to start his own garment factory and working with names like Liz Claiborne, Buffalo, Talbots and Bono. Big business. Big brands. Same question. There has to be more to this…
A search that has led him to seek behind the lens of a camera and explore the world with a different angle. He loves to work with still life and inspiring moments of life that come calling. His real love is for the moments of life that are captured unaware… even of themselves, as he professes his partiality for still life, over people… as the exuberance and complete natural state of the surroundings far beats the contrived way of life of people.
His shows include 'Flying Solo' – New Delhi (2006), Three Tier – New Delhi, ‘Three Eyes’ – Pune, ‘Harvest’ – New Delhi, ‘Fine Art Photography’ - Kolkata and ‘The Other Side’ – New Delhi (2007).
His select works are part of private collections in India and abroad. A self taught photographer, Ajay is constantly honing his skills with a lot of reading and informal education in photography to increase his exposure to more moments, more photos and more creativity.
