Episode 14: Sujata Setia, visionary and artist
Sujata Setia
Episode Description
Welcome to The Photography Pod, the podcast determined to bring you the World’s most inspirational photographers. For professional and enthusiast photographers everywhere.
To continue our theme of The Photography Show and International Women’s Day we are privileged to be joined by Sujata Setia.
Sujata has two very different angles to her work; the successful Butnatural family and newborn business, and also her personal projects.
It’s the latter that have made her most well known with exhibitions across the world. Her 'Changing the Conversation’ work explores portraiture of subjects with physical differences, and most recently ‘A Thousand Cuts’ where Sujata works together with other victims of abuse to create stunning works of art.
Sujata talks candidly about her traumatic experience of abuse and how that changed the way she views the world and her inspirational, female-focussed art and photography.
Sujata’s lived trauma and photography projects are important topics for us as a society to understand. As a result, this article, the pod episode and the YouTube episode do contain discussion and imagery around sensitive topics.
The Photography Pod is now available as videos on YouTube, head to The Photography Pod YouTube Channel here.
