Rajat Singh is an Australian photographer based in Amsterdam and Mumbai. Before dedicating himself exclusively to photography, Rajat had a long career as an architect and designer. This background in architecture subtly influences his photographic work, adding a distinctive structural and spatial quality to his images. 

Rajat Singh’s photographic practice explores the unstable surface of the contemporary city. Through reflections, distortions, and layered transparencies, he reframes urban architecture into fragmented compositions that oscillate between abstraction and documentation.

Singh is drawn to industrial structures, glass façades, and transitional spaces where history and modernity collide. Rather than presenting the city as fixed and orderly, his images reveal a restless, shifting landscape; one shaped by light, memory, and material.

Reflections become both subject and metaphor. Buildings dissolve into one another; surfaces fold time into a single plane. The familiar city transforms into something ambiguous and impressionistic, inviting the viewer to question what is solid and what is constructed.

“In my work, the urban setting –buildings, street furniture, foliage– instead of a mute backdrop, becomes the subject where the city, devoid of its humans, appears frozen in a post-apocalyptic alternate reality. The idea that all beauty is a product of randomness is what guides my compositions. I strive to go beyond conveying stories of human interaction with the city and instead present its dichotomous beauty through the eyes of an invisible observer.”
