Nirvair Singh Rai (b.1993, India) is a young photographer, who hails from Punjab, India, and has won critical as well as popular acclaim for his unique vision and thoughtful imagery. He grew up watching his father pursue making pictures with a film camera, and gradually, photography became his partner in moments of solitude. Each of his series, are not just photographs but are a careful weaving of a narrative through visuals. These stories are told with such grace that they depict every mood and emotion of the people in the photographs and blend with the vision of the photographer. Socio-political and anthropological observations gradually become inherent in his series. Nirvair has studied photography in the South Asian Media Academy – Pathshala, Dhaka, Bangladesh. He has previously shot for National Geographic Traveller, India and Drik News agency, Bangladesh, along with working on a commissioned project by Fabrica, an Italian publication. He is also the co-founder of PIC Productions.
