MEET THE JURY

I specialise in weaving photographic narratives that capture the essence of the built environment, serving a discerning clientele worldwide. Architectural photography perfectly complements my working methods and temperament, placing a strong emphasis on technique and spatial exploration. My approach is centred on meticulous composition, an acute attention to detail, purposeful lines, textural contrasts, and a deep consideration of the environment and context that surrounds each project. Currently based in London, I persist in crafting visual stories that hopefully create evocative and immersive experiences.

While Ishita Sitwala has studied architecture from renowned institutes namely Bachelors Of Architecture from SCET, Surat and Masters in Architecture from Cornell University, no later than 3 years into the practice, she ventured into making a career out of her love for photography.

The passion for documenting and capturing buildings budded quite early, while studying architecture, going back to the basics of photography through Lomography and later in Chicago, documenting each & every building during her few months there. But love inspired her to change her path completely. Getting married to an educator who also happened to be a marvelous photographer, Ravi Mistry, re-wrote the success story for her.

It was at this time that a few college friends gave her her first break at documenting their projects, one project led to another, but her eye for details fastened her the way through this new field. She was lucky enough to have gotten published quickly, got to document many privileged projects with some fabulous architects and designers, and she has not looked back ever since.
