My Favourite Space

My Favourite Space is an expansive photographic journey that delves into the intimate bond between individuals and the spaces they inhabit. Across 12 cities and three continents—including Ahmedabad, Hamburg, Cairo, and London—I’ve collaborated with over 60 participants, capturing their chosen environments in a series of three images. Each triptych reveals layers of personal, cultural, and architectural narratives, offering a profound glimpse into how spaces shape identity.

Guided by my architectural background, this project intertwines design and human experience. Using a Hasselblad medium-format film camera, I adopt a slow and deliberate approach, fostering trust and mutual vulnerability with each subject. The tactile nature of analogue photography, paired with the unique perspective of the camera’s top-down viewfinder, allows for a deeply reflective process, capturing both the individual and the atmosphere of their space.

Through these intimate portraits, My Favourite Space challenges assumptions and invites viewers to reflect on the emotional and cultural dimensions of space. It underscores how the places we inhabit become vessels of memory and identity, shaping our sense of self in ways both subtle and profound.
