About

My name is Anuj Chaman

I am a London-based, Canadian-born photographer. My journey into photography began at the age of 12, using a cheap point-and-shoot camera for a school multimedia project. By high school, I embraced my role as the designated family photographer, and started developing my photographic style while travelling or roaming around the streets of Toronto, drawing inspiration from the late Henri-Cartier Bresson’s ability to capture the true essence of events.

​

I continued my exploration into my university years, delving into various photographic genres, including fashion, event, and nightlife photography. My evolved my lens into a powerful instrument for storytelling, allowing me to authentically document each moment with creativity and authenticity.

​

Today, my focus centers on personal projects rooted in street documentary photography, both in the vibrant streets of London and during my travels abroad. Embracing an editorial approach, I strive to capture the essence of everyday life in its purest form. Recently inspired by the masterful portraiture of the late Yousuf Karsh, I aim to convey the soul and attributes of my subjects, whether through a discreet approach I generally default to or a more deliberate composition working with people I meet as seen in my travel stories projects.

​

My work is driven by a desire to uncover the extraordinary within the ordinary, celebrating the beauty and intrigue found in seemingly mundane moments. With an acute eye for detail and a profound appreciation for the nuances of human experience, my photographs serve as portals into the soul of the world around me.

​

Through my lens, I invite viewers to embrace a fresh perspective, where every fleeting moment holds a captivating story waiting to be told.
