Sunil Gupta: Life with a Camera, 1970 – Now, traces five decades of Sunil Gupta’s (b. 1953, India) pioneering contribution to photography and activism. Intimate and subversive, Gupta’s photography has been instrumental in documenting the fight for queer rights internationally, particularly in India, the UK and United States, laying bare the tensions between tradition and modernity, and public and private spheres.

Featuring over 100 images in color and black and white, accompanied by a selection of Gupta’s writings from the 1980s to the present. Essays by Natasha Bissonauth, Theo Gordon, Tausif Noor, Gregory Salter and Gayatri Sinha offer fresh perspectives on Gupta’s practice, situating it within global, queer and postcolonial histories, and contributing to ongoing debates around photography as both an art form and an agent of change.

The book accompanies a major exhibition of Gupta’s work opening in September 2026 at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, before touring to Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2027) and Leeds Art Gallery (2028).
