Sanjay Marathe, born in 1966 in Mumbai, grew up in Kanpur and Mumbai in India. He is a self-taught photographic artist. His journey with photography began in the age of film cameras at the young age of thirteen, evolving from a hobby into a lifelong passion. He got a degree in commerce and got admission to the Govt. law college in Mumbai. He soon realized his heart belonged to photography, gave up law study and chose to persue his passion.

Following an extensive thirty-year career in commercial photography, Sanjay decided to focus on fine art photography. He developed a unique style that seamlessly blends photographic technique and his creative vision. His favorite subjects include landscapes, cityscapes, historical locations, architecture, nature, people, and abstracts. He debuted with a solo exhibition at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai in 2013.

Sanjay is known for his patience in waiting for the perfect light to bathe his subjects, yet he also relishes the challenge of shooting in unfavorable weather conditions. He firmly believes that "light, subject, and composition need to be captured at the precise moment, else the magic disappears."

Utilizing a wide array of print media and contemporary techniques, Sanjay creates photography prints that have found buyers in India and worldwide. Currently, Sanjay divides his time between Mumbai and Jersey City, showcasing his work extensively in both India and the USA.
