Prabuddha Dasgupta’s photographs are dynamic yet soulful. His personal portfolio explores a variety of subjects such as friendships, family ties, personalities, relationships, personal spaces and dwellings, journeys and landscapes. Time and space, the two frameworks so embedded in our psyche, become irrelevant in Dasgupta’s compositions. He goes beyond explicit spatial and temporal locations to explore the triumphs and victories of an individual within a complicated society consisting of multiple layers and many contradictions. Some of the main issues his body of work addresses are those pertaining to the self, gender, sexuality and relationships.
Dasgupta has also created a series of portraits of Indian women. These images of urban Indian women represent their strength and stability, emphasizing their overall demeanor and personalities rather than just their physical beauty.
Dasgupta’s commissioned works include images for the magizines Vogues and Elle, campaigns for luxury brands Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Ravissant and Ganjam, and calendars for prestigious brands such as Vama, Grasshopper and Interglobe.
Prabuddha Dasgupta was born in 1956 in Kolkata. In 1991, he received the Yves Saint Laurent Grant for Photography. Since then, he has participated held several solo shows worldwide, the most recent being ‘Longing’ at Bodhi Art, New York, in 2007; ‘Myth and Memory’ at Galleria Carla Sozzani, Milan, in 2007, and at Bodhi Art, New Delhi, in 2006; ‘Photographs’ at Franco Maria Ricci, Milan, in 2005; 'The Erotic Landscape’ at the Biennale Internazionale di Fotografia, Brescia, in 2004; ‘Lakshmi’ at Atelier Degli Artisti, Brescia, in 2002; and ‘Ladakh’ at Le Cashmerien, Paris, also in 2002. His recent group endevors include 'Click! Contemporary Photography in India' at Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi and Grosvenor Vadehra Gallery, London, in 2008; 'Lens’ at Bodhi Art, Singapore, in 2007; 'What Wears Us’ at Matthieu Foss Gallery, Mumbai, in 2007; 'Act of Faith’ at the Noorderlicht Photo Festival, Netherlands, in 2007; ‘India Photography: Four Voices’ at Galleria Carla Sozzani, Milan, also in 2007; and 'The Incredible Moment’ at the Maurya Sheraton Hotel, New Delhi, in 2005.
