Ranita Roy, an independent storyteller and National Geographic Explorer hailing from the quaint town of Andul, India, has carved her own path in the realm of narrative exploration. Currently dividing her time between Kolkata and Uttarakhand, Ranita's creative journey is a testament to her unwavering commitment to unraveling the intricate tapestry of fiction and reality. Her storytelling takes on the form of captivating quasi-documentary narratives, weaving together the threads of diverse human experiences.
Her commitment to her craft is underscored by her extensive training, including completing Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) in Jakarta, by Reuters. In 2023 she became a certified open water diver by PADI. This training equips her to fearlessly delve into challenging environments to capture compelling stories from around the world.
Ranita's work has garnered widespread recognition, finding a place in esteemed media publications like Reuters, The Washington Post Magazine, The New York Times, CNN, The Caravan magazine, NPR, The Guardian, and Microsoft. Her portfolio showcases a profound dedication to themes related to the environment, social justice, and mental health, conveying powerful messages through her unique lens.
With a Master's degree in Environmental Science, Ranita brings a profound understanding of both the land and its people, infusing her storytelling with authenticity and depth.
In 2021, she earned the distinction of becoming a Magnum Foundation Photography and Social Justice Fellow, cementing her role as a transformative artist. Her short film "BAPI" has been showcased at international festivals, including the Breda Photo Festival in the Netherlands and the Jakarta International Photo Festival (JIPFest) in 2023. In 2024, she became the National Geographic Explorer and was awarded The Create Fund from Shutterstock. Currently she is exploring alternative photographic processes while working on her project "Whispers of Cosmic Stillness," a visual exploration of a place infused with cosmic energy and tranquility in Uttarakhand.
