Parizad D

I am a photographer and visual artist from Mumbai, India. I started my career working as a commercial photographer, specializing in advertising, fashion and music. Over the years, some of my clientele has included - Meta, Netflix, Sony Music, LinkedIn, Dr. Reddy’s Pharmaceuticals, Tata Chemicals, Reliance Brands, Hindustan Unilever, and more. My work can be found in various publications such as Vogue, Grazia, Rolling Stone, Wildcity, Billboard, Afropunk, etc. I was featured on the cover of Asian Photography India as an upcoming talent on their On the Horizon segment. Over the years, I have also developed a strong artistic practice by experimenting with various alternative mediums such as filmmaking, video art, analogue printing processes, the written word and more. A culmination of these can be seen in my first photobook, titled dear melancholy. This was launched and exhibited by Method Art Space, and featured in various prominent publications including The Hindustan Times, Mid-day, Platform Mag, etc, as well as longlisted for the Toto Funds the Arts Photography Award, 2022. Most recently I was selected as finalist for the Inception Grant and Tacita Dean Award, and exhibited as a part of the Inception Grant 2023 Finalist show organized by Art Incept Gallery, running parallel to India Art Fair, displayed at Stir in Delhi, India.

I'm looking to extend my practical world knowledge into the teaching space, to aid the growth of new aspiring photographers.
