Rajesh Vora (b.1954) began his career in Visual Communications and has been photographing for over 30 years. A deep-rooted interest in the environment and disappearing habitats has influenced his photographic practice. Vora worked as a photographer with COLORS magazine for over 15 years and often contributed as a researcher and writer. His concern with urban issues led to myriad collaborations and projects with architects, environmentalists and filmmakers espousing critical views on the social, cultural and political situation in India.
His photographs have been published in numerous publications, most recently The Kinetic City & Other Essays (2021) and Working in Mumbai: RMA Architects (2020). His project, Everyday Baroque, was first exhibited in 2016 at PHOTOINK, New Delhi. This project was reconceived as Everyday Monuments in 2022 for Surrey Art Gallery, British Columbia, Canada, followed by an exhibition catalogue published by Figure 1 Publishing in 2023.
Group exhibitions include Rooee, addressing the remnants of the "empire of cotton", 2019.
