Introduction

The Sikh Coalition presents Sikh Turban and Identity by Amit and Naroop.

Born and raised in West London, photography duo Amit Amin and Naroop Jhooti got together in 2005, whilst Naroop was working in fashion and Amit was exploring the possibilities of being a professional photographer.

When a mutual friend, an aspiring music artist, needed a press photo shoot done, the two came together, working within their own fields of specialism. During the shoot they collaborated well, bouncing ideas off each other and producing some interesting images. The chemistry was instant. From that first shoot, they decided to team up as creative partners and Amit and Naroop Photography was formed.

The duo continued working within the music industry, developing their own distinct, intense style. The Sikh Coalition, America's largest Sikh civil rights organization, brought them to the United States to photograph new Sikh portraits for The Sikh Project.
