Varanasi Unfiltered

This project is deeply personal to me. Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities, holds a special place in my heart. Walking along its ghats and witnessing rituals and everyday life, each frame became more than a photograph. This series is my attempt to share moments that are raw, alive, and human.

About Artist

Alamkrutha Gamini

I’m Alamkrutha Gamini, Hyderabad (India) -born, Texas-based photographer. I'm a traveler, writer, and photographer who wanders with a curious heart and a quiet camera. I shoot moments that feel human: a fleeting glance, a silent prayer, a street filled with stories. From Varanasi’s ghats to Yosemite Firefall, my work leans into the raw, unposed, and emotionally alive moments. Every frame is a way of remembering the world the way my heart sees it.
