Sayan Hazra is an independent documentary storyteller based in India. So far Sayan has been focusing on personal projects because this is the only way he can work on subjects he deeply cares about. He believes in producing work that pushes boundaries and helps him grow as an artist and connects to an audience through a shared passion. He also loves to explore new techniques for documentary storytelling that are different from traditional narrative photojournalism. Sayan is very keen to introduce computer programs in his storytelling practice because he did graduation in computer science and engineering. Even Sayan has spent a good amount of time coding digital image processing algorithms before choosing photography as his primary medium of expression.
Sayan has explored the visual medium through different masterclasses. He is a Foundry Photojournalism Workshop alumnus and received a VII Academy scholarship to attend the VII-photo masterclass 2018-19.
Sayan's works have been published with media outlets like BBC, Travel+Leisure, Discover India, StoriesAsia, Social & Political Research Foundation Journal, Fotofestin blog, Witness Journal, Broad Magazine.
