The collection’s open‑access nature has also prompted crowdsourced annotation projects on platforms like Zooniverse, where volunteers help translate captions and identify flora/fauna, further democratising knowledge production.
Festivals such as Diwali in Varanasi, Bihu in Assam, and Pongal in Tamil Nadu are documented not just as spectacles but as communal rituals that bind generations. The portrait series “Faces of Tradition” presents elders teaching younger kin ancient crafts—block printing, bamboo weaving, and Kathak dance—underscoring the transmission of intangible heritage.
The thumbnails at first glance read like a life lived in fragments: street scenes, candid portraits, close-up textures, and a surprising number of sunsets. Some images were sharply composed in bright daylight; others blurred with motion, the way people look when they’re moving and not posing for the camera. Metadata revealed a wide date range and a handful of different camera models—evidence that this collection wasn’t the work of a single weekend but rather a running project across seasons and devices.

Anuj Singh (b. 1992, Jaipur, Rajasthan) began his photographic journey as a teenager documenting the vibrant street fairs of his hometown. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication from the National Institute of Design (NID), he worked as a photojournalist for two major Indian dailies before turning to independent practice in 2017.
Singh’s work is often described as “humanist modernism” – a blend of classic documentary sensibility with a contemporary eye for composition and colour. He cites the likes of Henri Cartier‑Bresson, Raghu Rai, and Steve McCurry as formative influences, yet his visual language remains unmistakably his own, rooted in the everyday textures of post‑liberalisation India.
