About
Sanjyot Telang is an Indian photographer and visual artist, born in Bombay and based in Paris since 2012. Her work navigates the intersection of the social, the personal, and the anthropological—blending photography with hand-painted interventions to create emotionally resonant, layered imagery.
With over 15 years of experience as a fashion and advertising photographer, Sanjyot has gradually cultivated a more intimate and socially engaged artistic approach. She also conducts workshops in schools, where she shares her passion for image-making and visual storytelling with younger generations.
She is the recipient of the Bourse du Talent (2017) in the Fashion category and the Prix de la Photographie (2013), and has specialized in portraiture throughout her career. Her work has been featured on Radio France Culture, BBC World TV, and exhibited at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). Her collaborative project Tous en Beauté, created with the pediatric neurology department of Hôpital Trousseau (AP-HP, Paris), was exhibited in various galleries, cultural institutions, and public spaces.
Her artistic practice is now enriched by an emerging anthropological lens, through which she explores feminine narratives, ancestral transmission, and erased histories.
