Early life

Pablo Bartholomew was born on December 18, 1955 in New Delhi, India.

Influenced greatly by his father, Richard Bartholomew (1926-1985), an art critic and photographer, Bartholomew learned his first photography lessons at home. In his early teens he photographed in the documentary tradition, producing images of family, friends, and cities.

Photography career

Represented by Gamma Liaison for over 20 years, he worked as a photojournalist recording societies in conflict and transition. His works have been published in the New York Times, Newsweek, Time, Business Week, National Geographic and Geo amongst other prestigious magazines and journals.

Bartholomew then began photographing people in transition in different parts of the world.

He has held a number of fellowships, including one from the Asian Cultural Council, New York (1991), to photograph Indian immigrants in the USA, and one from the Institute of Comparative Studies in Human Culture, Norway (1995), to photograph the Naga tribes in India. Between 2001 and 2003 he ran a photography workshop for emerging photographers in India with the support of the World Press Photo Foundation in Amsterdam. Among his photo essays are "The Chinese in Calcutta," "Indians in Diaspora: the USA,"and "Tribes in Northeast India".

Pablo Bartholomew at the age of 19 won the World Press Photo award for his series on Morphine Addicts in India (1975) [http://www.netphotograph.com/pablo/morph_photos01.html] and the World Press Photo of the Year for the Bhopal Gas Tragedy (1984).

His recent exhibition "Outside In! A Tale of Three Cities: 70s and 80s" is a visual diary of his teenage work.
