Vaibhav Passi is an architectural photographer based in Chandigarh, India. Trained as an architect, his practice has gradually evolved into an exploration of how architecture holds memory, emotion, and identity.
Over the years, he has been drawn to photographing his own city, Chandigarh, using the medium as a way to understand its modern heritage from the perspective of a resident rather than a visitor. What began as documentation has become a deeper inquiry into how built spaces reflect lived experience.
His work moves between precision and intuition, merging the clarity of architectural study with a sensitivity to the moods and memories that architecture holds.
