About

Ayush Ranka is an independent photographer based out of Bangalore, India. Ayush believes that in a true democracy everybody has a right to a life with dignity regardless of their background. These motivations are a conduit for the exploration about life that comes easy to some & is almost impossibly arduous for others. He believes that any form of art has a very important role to play in fostering a sense of understanding between people in a very direct & unadulterated manner. And believes photography is the most immediate.

Urbanization, human rights & culture are mostly topics he likes to work with. His interests lie deeply rooted in the socio-political trends of modern India, addressing concerns that have led to the disparity between urban and rural India through his photographic essays.
