My name is Gajan Balan. I am a photographer and director based in Toronto. My visuals are an exercise in world-building that moves across portraiture, fashion, street, and documentary. My work has garnered multiple awards, publications, and galleries, but my primary focus remains on highlighting humanistic stories from around the world. Namely, those who draw inspiration from my culture and heritage. My goal is to develop compelling stories that can inspire the next generation of creatives.
