Sayani Sarkar is a photographer and storyteller from Kolkata, India, now based in Toronto. She is interested in street, portraiture, and event photography, with a keen focus on conceptual, abstract, and fine art practices.​​

​

Growing up between cultures, she often felt displaced, blurring her sense of identity and prompting her to question where she truly belonged. This search for belonging led her to art, literature, and photography as a means of connection.

​

Having been a theater actor, writer, and painter, Sayani incorporates elements from all disciplines into her photography, creating settings that evoke theatrical storytelling. Her work explores themes of displacement, self-discovery, and human connection.

​

Through her lens, she captures moments that feel both deeply personal and universally familiar. She hopes viewers will see themselves in her work, to find comfort, reflection, and a quiet reminder that they are not alone.
