Hi. Welcome to the 7th Episode. I’m your host Noel Woodward and this is ‘For The Love Of'.
For the Love of Photography | Through the Lens with Nipun Prabhakar
This one is close to me one – because I’ll be talking to a friend of mine from college - about him, his work and his tryst with the camera. I have always known Nipun as an extremely passionate individual and I welcome him to the show.
Nipun Prabhakar is an independent photographer and architect based in Kutch and Delhi. He works on long term photo-documentary projects. Besides that, he designs, researches and documents the intersections of built environments and communities.
He has been working with the nomadic pastoralist communities of India, documenting their lives in the context of migration, climate change, conflicts, and displacement. As an Architect, he has worked with various South Asian communities dealing with disasters and conflicts.
His thesis on the rehabilitation of the riot-hit community in Muzaffarnagar won him a National Award by the Council of Architecture and Tamayouz International Award for the Best Graduation Project.
Nipun has been engaged in multiple rehabilitation projects in Nepal which also involved him extensively documenting public spaces and architectural heritage. He has since worked on photo essays for various national and international organizations.
He was the co-recipient of the Berkeley Essay Prize 2014 and was the Cornell South Asian Fellow for 2019-20 for his project on Doors of Kathmandu.
So stay tuned as I connect with the man behind the lens and discuss his journey over the past couple of years.
The Episode airs this Saturday. See you then!
