Bharat Sikka moved from India to New York to pursue his career in
photography and to study at Parsons School of Design. He earned his BFA
in photography and since then has been shooting for magazines such as ID
and Details. He also featured as one of PDNs choices for emerging
photographers in their March 2002 issue. Julian Meijer took him on in
September, 2001 and says, "There is a thin line between art and
photojournalism. His humanity is the strength of his work. It is what I
hope people see in his pictures." -PDN March 2002.
Sikka takes a fine art approach to portrait photography. His portfolio
consists of environmental portraits of Indian men, as well as other
artists such as Moby, Carla Bruni and Beth Orton. Editorial clients include Vanity Fair US, Vogue India, Another Magazine, Time
