Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar

I was born and raised in Goa. My photographic interests lie in landscapes, portraiture in natural light, street life, culture, religion, and photojournalism. Places that I find particularly inspiring are Goa, Iceland, and California.

I have shot extensively in my homeland of Goa, recording its surviving heritage and its sui generis ethos. I have documented in detail the destruction of Goa's environment and its rapid slide into the ugliness and urban chaos that characterizes today's India.

I am also a musician, with a lifelong association with the musical traditions of India. I live in California and spend extended time in Goa.
