Gauri Gill (born 1970) is an Indian contemporary photographer who lives in New Delhi. She has been called "one of India's most respected photographers" by the New York Times[1] and one of "the most thoughtful photographers active in India today" in The Wire.[2] In 2011 Gill was awarded the Grange Prize, Canada's most prestigious contemporary photography award.[3] The jury said her works "often address ordinary heroism within challenging environments depicting the artist's often-intimate relationships with her subjects with a documentary spirit and a human concern over issues of survival."[4]
