Bio:
Amirtharaj is a Tamil photographer. His interests lie in capturing for posterity, stripped glimpses of the world and its inhabitants. Where he comes from, the voices of the oppressed are often suppressed. Suffering is taken from granted by those in power and the downtrodden as well. Amirtharaj believes that photographs have the clout to make people look at commonplace incidents in an empathetic manner. They can change the tide of the conflict-ridden and empower the masses to care for each other. He hopes to be a part of this process, where he can use his knack for photography and passion for the cause for the greater good of the world.

Amirtharaj Stephen concentrates on street documentary and socio documentary of human and environmental issues. He has been particularly active following the protests against nuclear power. His work on this topic has been shown and published across India and outside.
