Dayanita Singh, an Indian photographer known for her candid shots of everyday people over nearly four decades, uses unconventional methods to capture and exhibit her work. In interviews, she describes her shooting style as dynamic and personal, likening her camera to a "third breast" that allows her to engage intimately with subjects. Beyond traditional gallery settings, Singh presents her photographs in mobile museums and unique installations. Recently, her works were featured in Venice’s State Archives, and this fall, solo exhibitions are scheduled at museums in Rome and Turin.

Story summary
Dayanita Singh, an Indian photographer, is known for her candid shots of everyday people and places across India over nearly 40 years. Unlike traditional fine-art photographers who typically sell limited-edition prints through galleries at high prices, Singh also creates affordable photographic books and collections. She innovates in both the creation and presentation of her work, using unorthodox methods like "mobile museums" which are portable wooden structures that can be rearranged. In spring 2023, her works were featured in a notable exhibition at the State Archives of Venice. This fall, she will open two solo museum exhibitions in Rome and Turin.
