Ashok Sinha

The Visual Archivist

His superpowers: master of preserving the essence of architecture, culture, and history through his lens, seamlessly blending art and storytelling to immortalize moments in time.

Ashok is a New York City-based architectural and fine art photographer capturing the essence of natural and built environments. His love for architecture began while photographing Oscar Niemeyer’s Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum in Rio. His work has been published in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Wallpaper, Interior Design and exhibited at The Museum of the City of New York, ICP, and The Royal Photographic Society.

Sinha’s Gas and Glamour, a photo book on LA’s golden age of car culture, was named a top photo book of 2020 by The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Magazine. The Guardian called it “easy to get lost in nostalgia.”

Also a cinematographer, his award-winning short documentary Forgotten Artisans of New York (2024) won Best Documentary Short at the Long Island International Film Expo. Previous films include Sticker City (2019), featured in Amazon’s All Voices Film Festival, and Pigeon Kings of Brooklyn (2015), a Vimeo Staff Pick.

Born in Kolkata, Sinha previously programmed telecom satellites after graduating from Columbia University before transitioning into digital media and, ultimately, a full-time art career in Manhattan, where he lives with his wife and daughter.
