Born in 1973, Bharat Sikka moved from India to New York to pursue his career in photography and to study at the Parsons School of Design there. He received his Bachelor’s degree in photography in 2002, and has since been involved in several commercial projects for various high-profile international magazines. Julian Meijer, who accepted Sikka as a part of his prestigious Julian Meijer photography agency in 2001, says, "There is a thin line between art and photojournalism. His humanity is the strength of his work. It is what I hope people see in his pictures."

Sikka’s approach to portrait photography is unlike that of a conventional photographer and more like that of an artist. His portfolio comprises of portraits of other artists, men in and out of their habitual environments, and frames that capture the simplicity everyday life. Capturing all aspects of humanity, Sikka’s images raise a strong sense of compassion in the hearts of his audience.

Bharat Sikka’s recent solo shows include ‘Indian Men’ at the Otto Zoo, Milan, in 2008; ‘Space In Between’ at Chatterjee & Lal, Mumbai, in 2008; shows at the National Museum and Nature Morte, New Delhi, in 2008; ‘Space In Between’ at Nature Morte and Bose Pacia, Kolkata, in 2007; and ’ Families’ at Galerie Valérie Cueto, Paris, in 2005.
