Interview by: Ananya Dhote
Could you tell us something about your background? Was photography always a calling?
Oh no! I first went to a business school; I had a degree in accountancy. Then, I went back to study photography. My parents migrated to Canada when I was 15. My MBA was in New York, so there I made the switch. While in Canada, I was part of the first Gay students’ movement. We started a newspaper and I used to take pictures of the demonstrations for it. So, that’s how it started and, in that way, photography was always tied up to what I was doing generally… I find the subject matter for photography in my own life.

I’m portraying our own gay passion that has centered for so long now around the disaster known as AIDS.”
