The Work

Six ways

Street
Photography

13 countries. One instinct. From the gritty lanes of Old Delhi to the neon-lit streets of Seoul — unposed, unrepeatable, alive. Each city has its own pulse; Sujoy listens before he shoots.

A thread through everything

Portraits live within
every frame.
People before places.

There is no dedicated portraits section here — because portraits are everywhere. The duck seller in Dhaka is a portrait. The shipyard workers are a portrait. The girl peering through the loom is a portrait. Sujoy makes eye contact before he shoots. He walks away if someone says no. The people in these images chose to be here — each one treated with dignity, each one seen as a participant, never a subject.

Landscape

Yuan Yang's ancient terraces. Bali's sculpted hillsides. The clifftop villages of Cinque Terre. The Renaissance waterways of Venice and Florence. Landscapes as living witnesses — shaped by centuries of human hands.

Jeff Ticao
& the art of Hablon

Jeff Ticao is a visionary Filipino fashion designer based in the vibrant city of Iloilo. His collections are nothing short of breathtaking — vibrant, beautiful and deeply considered — paying homage to his heritage and reflecting the colourful Visayan way of life in every stitch of the fabric known as Hablon.

Derived from the Hiligaynon word habol, meaning "to weave," Hablon is characterised by its plain weave adorned with plaid and striped designs — finding its way into the iconic Visayan wraparound skirt, the patadyong, and the panuelo. Jeff's work not only showcases exceptional talent but serves as a testament to this ancient craft, keeping its legacy alive for generations to come.

These photographs were made in collaboration — Sujoy's camera and Jeff's cloth, both in service of the same story.

Jeff Ticao in conversation with Sujoy Sen · Iloilo, Philippines

From the field — @sujoyen

View on Instagram

Sujoy Sen is a Singapore-based photographer with over two decades behind the camera. Largely inspired by his father — a Reuters correspondent for over twenty years — his photographs carry a strong photojournalistic flavour: moving and yet simple, rooted in quiet observation rather than spectacle.

He works almost entirely on Leica — the SL3 and Q3 — not out of brand loyalty but because the way they render light and shadow suits the kind of images he is drawn to make. From the streets of Varanasi and the festivals of Vrindavan to fishing communities of Semporna and the aftermath of the Leh flash floods, he documents NGO fieldwork and human stories with equal care.
