About

Kamna’s journey into photography began during her undergraduate years in Pennsylvania, where solo travel sparked her desire to document the world around her. She bought her first DSLR to hold on to what she was seeing - strangers, streets, fleeting light.

She deepened her understanding of the medium in Delhi and later at Goldsmiths College, London, studying Photography and Urban Culture. When she was expecting her son, she chose to pause her studies and devote herself to motherhood. For years, her camera rested while life moved in other meaningful ways.

​

In 2023, a workshop in Rome with Steve McCurry brought her back to the streets. By early 2024, she made a clear decision to commit again - this time with more clarity and confidence.

​

Now, every outing feels like a treasure hunt. The unpredictability, the tension between light and shadow, the poetry of strangers - these are her subjects. 

From the devotional tides of Kumbh Mela to the layered streets of Mumbai, from Japan’s restraint to Cuba’s vibrancy and Morocco’s textures, she searches for the decisive moment hidden within everyday life.

A finalist at Rome Photo Lab’s Streets of the World (2025) and shortlisted for the 2026 WSP Artist Residency, Kamna stands at the intersection of resilience and reinvention.

At home, she is a mother to a 10-year-old boy, Kaviesh, and caregiver to two dogs. 

On the street, she is an observer - attentive, grounded, and drawn to the small, honest moments that often go unnoticed.

 

For her, the street is not spectacle. It is life, unfolding.
