Ketaki Sheth (Maharashtra)
About Artist
Ketaki Sheth was born in Mumbai and graduated in English Literature from Elphinstone College, Bombay University. She then went on to obtain a Master's degree in Communication Arts from Cornell University in Ithaca, USA. Mentored by the legendary photographer Raghubir Singh, Ketaki worked in black and white photography for over 30 years. With film and processing becoming scarce, she recently made her entry into the world of digital and colour photography, embracing the new technology with no preconceived notions or knowledge but rather using just her intuition and keen eye for detail. Her most recent work 'Photo Studio', is a book and exhibition of photographs offering a fresh perspective on a diminishing tradition. It is a compendium of 50-odd photographs of, or about, photo studios across India. Other solo shows include 'Bombay Mix: Street Photographs' at Cite du Livre in Aix-en-Provence, France, 2008. She has also participated in several group shows. The artist currently lives and works in MumbaiArtwork
