Harsha Vadlamani is an independent photojournalist, filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer whose work explores the many inequalities that influence migration, health and the environment, with a particular focus on rural and indigenous communities across India.
In the summer of 2008, he quit an IT job to work on commissioned projects photographing communities in HIV/AIDS interventions in southern India. Over the next three years, this work resulted in several publications and, more importantly, deepened his understanding of rural India and continues to influence his current work.
In 2021, supported by a grant from the National Geographic Society, he travelled through central India for over 40 days on a motorcycle. He documented how healthcare workers and volunteer doctors worked to counter the devastating impact of COVID-19’s second wave on isolated rural and indigenous communities. The work received Amnesty International UK’s Media Award for Photojournalism in 2022.
His work has appeared in National Geographic, The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, GEO, Al Jazeera, Le Monde, Financial Times Magazine, Rest of World, CNN, BBC, Scientific American, Foreign Affairs, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Nature and Wired, among other publications.
