All images are shot on 35mm format and transparency film.

BIOGRAPHY:
Born in Bradford, England, of Indian descent, Bipinchandra is a self-taught photographer now working between Brighton, England and New York City.
His first body of work consisted of photographs shot in India during the winter of 1988. This and subsequent trips to India became a part of an education in his own cultural identity, and led to his first published work. This was followed by an exhibition at the National Museum of Photography, Bradford in 1990.
His work has comprised numerous projects funded by the Arts Council, and local government bodies. The core of which consisted of photography workshops with youngsters and special needs groups. This led onto more projects with a multicultural approach and was mainly delivered in primary and secondary schools.
His personal, as well as commissioned work has led to a substantial photographic collection. He has written feature articles for Professional Photographer magazine, and is a member of the National Union of Journalists.
He spent one year designing websites for Spannerworks Internet, and redesigned the award winning www.foto8.com website of international photo-journalism.
He welcomes your comments.
