Craig Boehman, artist.

Craig Boehman, an American fine art photographer based in Mumbai, India, seamlessly employs the spontaneity of street photography with the depth of fine art. His motto, "I turn people into art," catapulted to the forefront when a street photograph of his was chosen for the cover of the German edition of Le Monde Diplomatique in 2015. This accolade spurred a deeper engagement with the vibrant cityscapes of Kolkata and Mumbai, inspiring him to unearth the remarkable in the everyday.

Craig's photographic journey, influenced by a childhood passion for rockhounding, showcases his innate talent for revealing the hidden wonders in ordinary moments. His work employs techniques like Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), imparting an impressionistic flair to his candid snapshots. Further extending his creative exploration, Craig integrates Generative AI with traditional street photography to produce fine art prints. This fusion not only enhances the authenticity of the captured moments but also infuses them with a layer of digital imagination, offering art buyers and collectors truly unique pieces.

He also dedicates himself to mentoring through street photography workshops in Mumbai and around the globe, leveraging his vast experience to nurture new talent. His contributions have been recognized internationally, with features in prestigious outlets like Verve Magazine and The Hindustan Times, underscoring his adeptness at crafting compelling visual stories. Through these workshops, Craig cultivates a community of photographers, empowering them to capture the transient beauty of urban life with both technical skill and creative insight.
