Zubin Pastakia is a documentary photographer and urban researcher living and working in Mumbai.
In 2006 he began working on a series looking at single-screen cinema halls in Mumbai. The project was initially supported by a fellowship from SARAI-CSDS and was awarded the TOTO Funds the Arts Award for Photography in 2008. The intention is to exhibit and compile the work into a photobook in the near future.
His other photographic project looks at the built environment of Mumbai. Focusing on slum rehabilitation projects, housing colonies of different social classes, peripheries of new business centers, suburban townships, sites of environmental degradation and open spaces that are pending development, the project takes a critical look at the forces that are shaping the city's constant metamorphosis. Still in progress, the series has been supported by a grant from the India Habitat Centre. Some of the work from this project has been exhibited in group shows by Tasveer Gallery.
Zubin freelances for various publications and also photographs for architects and interior designers.
And, yes, the prints are for sale. Contact Zubin for more information.

Zubin, you have captured daily life and things really well, which we often take for granted. Perhaps we as humans tend to ignore these simple things in life but you have brought that out from a different pov through your lens.
Well done.
