I’m Rishi Bandopadhay —

I’m a Texan who now lives in Southern California after a decade in New York.

I shoot on both film and digital (film: a Mamiya 645 Medium Format; digital: a Leica Q2 and Leica M11) and I love learning about new places and faces through my lenses.

When I’m not behind a camera or behind the screen, I can be found boxing or searching the world for the best burger.
