The feminist documentary photographer: AMRITA CHANDRADAS

Whether she’s chronicling the harrowing effects of civil war on women in Sri Lanka, or the personal struggles of a girl suffering from alopecia areata that results in the loss of hair on the head, as well as eyelashes and eyebrows, the 29-year-old always brings a sensitive feminine perspective to her work. Her next photojournalism project, 6.9, will be a 17-year-long labour of love, set to be completed in 2030. Its aim: to document the paradigm changes affecting society, traditions et al as the Singapore government plans to grow the population to 6.9 million.
