Sakshi Parikh is a professional photographer and artist shuttling between Mumbai and her hometown, Indore. An alumnus of the International Center of Photography, New York and a former Features Writer at the Better Photography magazine, Sakshi has now been working on a book that talks about the unspoken struggles of motherhood. She believes that this bookmaking idea has been stimulated from her ongoing series, Not without my Mother and her love for the tactile quality of photographs.
Commercially, Sakshi is working and building her portfolio in genres like fine art, fashion, editorial and food photography. She also likes to document weddings under the brand name Blur.
Her work has been published on various platforms such as Verve, Vogue Italia, The Hindu, The Print Swap, Inspiro India, Indian Photo Concept and so on.
Her work and her ideas seek inspiration from several photographers like, Edward Steichen, Steven Meisel, Inez and Vinoodh, Peter Lindbergh, Elinor Carucci, Cig Harvey. Sakshi’s mantra is based on artist, John Baldessari’s quote, “I will not make any more boring art.”
