Profile Information
- About Me
- Born in Rajkot in 1977, Udit Kulshreshtha spent his childhood travelling the length and breadth of the country, as an Army officer’s son. Thus began the yearning to perceive objects, both animate and inanimate, from dissimilar points of view. A trait that came in handy during his 7 years in marketing in the domains of Internet, Media, Paints & Durables. With his parental lineage in performing and visual arts, (his grandfather having taught the Great Maestro Jagjit Singh) he succumbed to his genetic calling as a visual artist in 2007, choosing photography as the medium to express himself.
Encouragement came to him in his initial learning period during commissioned projects for UNESADE, Spain, on issues of Education, Poverty, Sustainability, Street Children and other ‘Blind Spots’ of the society, surreal to the indifferent many. And it’s miles away from the elitist voyeurism that crowds our senses. Having published some of his editorial works across the US (Smithsonian - 2008), RCE Barcelona E&S, Spain (2007 & 2008), Pearson University, Singapore (2008) and Times of India & Traffic Life Magazine, India (2007 & 2008), his profession keeps him busy creating visual delights for the Advertising, editorial and corporate clientele in the domains of people, still life, fashion and sports.
While his professional life as a marketer gave him enviable insights into the ever-changing society that we are in, the particular segments that he has worked with have given him incidental but truly invaluable lessons For e.g., his stint with ICI Dulux gave him new understandings of the varying hues of colours, their innate harmonies, inherent contrasts and the play of light on colour temperature. His recent showcase on the Life & Tales of Doors, aptly entitled Darwaaze’, held at New Delhi during July-Aug 2008 is an illustration of the same. Some of his personal works adorn walls in not only domestically but internationally as well in private collections and he is represented by galleries in Ahmedabad & Gurgaon.
A self taught inquisitive photographer and a traveler – more a voyager of the visual senses – he explores the mediums of motion imagery, literature & creative writing, philosophy, design and music to hone his pictorial perspectives. He is currently exploring the vistas of People, Street & Life, Abstracts and Still Life. He is also working on a coffee table book on a small but diverse and economically self sustaining community based on faith, slated for release in 2010.
Udit hails from the Land of the Taj Mahal, Agra and is based out of Gurgaon, a suburb of Delhi.

Amazing work. I love the way you have captured the vibrancy of colour and light out of the most ordinary objects. I'm a sculptor and I've lived around the world and have done a lot of amateur photography too.. trust me you are good..
