ABOUT ME

MADHAVI MOOLJEE | PHOTOGRAPHER

I have been a visual learner for as long as I can remember. From graphs, to colors, to different typography, the more imagery something had the more I understood it. Naturally, I fell in love with the art of photography from a young age because it was a tool that helped me understand the world around me better. I received my first DSLR when I was 13 and have since developed my passion for photography. I was born in the United States and have Indian heritage, although the majority of my life was lived in the country of Zimbabwe. Blessed with a multicultural background I often struggled with an "identity crisis"- not truly knowing where my core was rooted from. When I began shooting portrait photography, I realized how fascinating and similar a lot of people's stories were. Photography created a channel for me to not only tell the stories of various different people, but connected me to the society as well. I am a true believer that "a picture is worth a thousand words" and I strive to explore more of the twisted, unique, complex world we live in, capturing moments so they last forever.

PROJECTS

"Happy Project" | Created an individual social experiment called the “Happy Project” to demonstrate how our innate humanly needs are what connect us as a humanity even in a world that forces to divide us. I interviewed and photographed clients from stereotypically different social classes throughout Zimbabwe and asked them all the same question: “what makes you happy?”. The responses varied but the reaction of pure joy is what proved that no matter how different our lifestyle experiences, we are still connected as a society through irrepressible emotion. This was showcased as an exhibition on my school campus.
