Born to Indian immigrants, raised on maple syrup, chai and multiculturalism in Canada, and now based in Brooklyn (with a camera never too far), Vin Sharma is a self-taught photographer fluent in the art of catching moments that are often overlooked.  

Vin's work is rooted in documenting the quiet range of human emotion, with a special lens on the unfiltered beauty of relationships. Her photos tell stories that feel familiar, even if you’ve never met the subjects. Even if you have never visited these places. 

Inspired by her tight-knit family and the generational tales that came with them, Vin shoots from a perspective that resists the mainstream gaze and celebrates the power of connection. 

New York City has been Vin's nuanced muse for nearly two decades: equal parts inspiration, therapy, and cardio workout (have you tried hauling gear on the subway?). Her work has been featured by SHOTS Magazine, Shutter Hub UK, Photoville, The Pictorial List, Feature Shoot, and ICP's Global Images for Global Crisis. She’s shown in galleries from Hyderabad to Athens, and yes, she once won an award with the word “Integrity” in the title - so that’s how you know she’s legit.

Whether she's photographing faces, landscapes or street scenes that reveal our shared humanity, Vin is after the connective tissue of our lives. Fluent in English, Hindi, and the universal language of awkward smiles when people don’t know where to put their hands in photos.

Forget studios and tripods. Vin’s photographic dream is being driven across the country in a gloriously oversized RV, head sticking out the window. Wind in her hair, bugs in her teeth, shutter clicking furiously, she’ll capture life as it blurs by. It's part road trip, part photo essay, part high-speed existential crisis - brought to you by motion blur and all the best snacks.
