Swapan Parekh : "Too many good frames are boring!"
Episode 22
Saturday, 28 March, 2026

In this episode, The Photobook Podcast features Swapan Parekh, a recipient of the prestigious World Press Photo award and an alumnus of the International Center of Photography, New York. Based in Mumbai, Swapan picked up the camera as a teenager as a tribute to his late father, Kishor Parekh. His early years as a photographer were shaped by a distinctive documentary aesthetic, which he later introduced to the world of print advertising. Author of Between Me & I and A Little Peace on Earth That's Mine, Swapan's work has been published, recognised and awarded across multiple realms of documentary, advertising, commissioned and personal photography.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------To know more about our latest episodes, follow us on Instagram at @thephotobookpodcast or write to us at thephotobookpodcast@gmail.comYou can find Priyanka Chharia at @madamphotographer and Swapan Parekh at @swapanparekh on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Photobook Podcast is generously supported by PhotoSouthAsia at @photosouthasia.
