Ranita Roy is an independent visual storyteller and National Geographic Explorer from Andul, India. Splitting her time between Kolkata and Uttarakhand, she masterfully blends fiction and reality through captivating quasi-documentary narratives, delving into themes of environment, social justice, and mental health.
Her dedication to storytelling is reinforced by extensive training, including Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) with Reuters in Jakarta and a PADI Open Water Diver certification, equipping her to navigate challenging environments fearlessly.
Ranita’s work has been widely recognized, featuring in Reuters, The Washington Post Magazine, The New York Times, CNN, The Caravan, NPR, The Guardian, and Microsoft. Holding a Master’s in Environmental Science, she brings a deep understanding of both people and landscapes, infusing her work with authenticity.
A Magnum Foundation Photography and Social Justice Fellow (2021), her short film "BAPI" was showcased at Breda Photo Festival and Jakarta International Photo Festival (JIPFest) in 2023. In 2024, she became a National Geographic Explorer and received The Create Fund from Shutterstock. She is currently working on "Whispers of Cosmic Stillness", and in 2025, she expanded her artistic practice by learning Platinum-Palladium printing from Pradip Malde at Sewanee: The University of the South, USA, further deepening her mastery of historical and experimental photography techniques.
