Background
Patel mainly shoots his photographs in India. He documents the coalescence of old Indian traditions and modern lifestyles.
Sutra series
A Sanskrit word, "Sutra" translates to a "thread or line that holds things together."
The Sutra project employs high dynamic range imaging, which is a photographic style that evenly distributes exposure in all parts of an image. "Sutra" also focuses on Ahmedabad, which is a partitioned city.
Printing style
Some of the "Sutra" series of prints have been printed on Japanese kozo paper (also known as rice paper), which is a flexible medium for printing. Made from the mulberry plant, kozo paper is ideal for printing in that it doesn't use chlorine bleaching and is stronger than regular papers.
The prints are produced by Cone Editions Press (by Jon Cone). These prints are of the highest printing quality.
Philanthropy
The Sutra collection is a platform that was created to inspire society towards charitable giving. Through his art, Yatin has collaborated with several foundations to raise awareness and funds for their respective causes. Yatin has partnered with many philanthropic organisations like the Boy Scouts of America, The Annika Sörenstam Foundation, Kerosene Lamp Foundation, March of Dimes Foundation and Florida Hospital for Children.
