KOMAL BEDI SOHAL
I work across street photography and long-form documentary
always drawn to the unscripted, the unguarded, the unheroic detail that carries the most truth.
I photograph with patience and intention. A gesture. A glance. A moment of settling.
Dignity and connection don't need to be constructed, they already exist. My role is simply to photograph them care and respect. My work has shown in solo and group exhibitions across New York, Paris, London, Brussels, Venice, Rome and India. In 2024, I was selected for the La Vie Un Bleu International Photography Residency in Nice, France.
