Rajat Singh is an Australian photographer based in Amsterdam, Mumbai, and Sydney.
Before dedicating himself exclusively to photography, he had a long career as an architect and designer, working across small-scale architecture, interiors, object design, exhibition design, and, more recently, heritage conservation. This background continues to inform his photographic practice, lending it a distinct sensitivity to structure, spatial logic, and material rhythm.
Born in New Delhi, Singh moved to Sydney in 2004 and later relocated to Amsterdam in 2023. His early engagement with photography began in 1998 under the Indian photographer OP Sharma at Triveni Kala Sangam in New Delhi, where he trained in film photography and darkroom techniques. He later continued his studies through advanced photography courses at the Australian Centre for Photography (ACP) in Sydney.
Over the years, Singh developed an extensive body of photographic work while maintaining a parallel professional career outside the arts, which limited earlier exhibition opportunities. In early 2025, he transitioned to working as a full-time photographer.
“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.” – Rajat Singh
