Poulomi Basu’s photography draws inspiration from all mediums of fine art, world cinema and visual culture. Her photography explores the line between fine art and documentary, seeing beyond what is ‘outside’ the realm of mere observation. She likes to engage emotionally with her subjects to produce work that dwells with what is 'inside us', exploring how lives change and revolve around both how we see others and how we are.

Poulomi Basu is a freelance photographer born in India. She completed her Masters in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication in 2009 with a Distinction. She currently lives and works between London and Mumbai.

Poulomi has assisted Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey (2008) and Magnum Nominee Simon Wheatley (2009).

She works for various international clients, publications and books such as The Sunday Times Magazine, The Daily Telegraph online, Time Out, Elle, Travel & Leisure, Rolling Stone Magazine, Dazed Digital, The Times of India, Urban Age - LSE, The Routledge, Rolli Books, Transport for London.
