Max Kandhola (Peter Pupender Max Singh Kandhola) is a photographer and an academic, whose works have been published and exhibited nationally and internationally. Born 1962, Selly Oak, England, to Punjabi Sikh parents. Father born in Lahore (Punjab) before the partition of India and mother born in Jalandhar, Punjab, India. Parents migrated to England in 1956, settling first in Bradford and then Birmingham in the early 1960s.
The photography explores cultural displacement, hybridity, and marginalised identities. It challenges dominant portrayals of race, gender, and social space, offering counter-narratives that disrupt hegemonic discourses and reclaim visibility for historically underrepresented groups. Kandhola has published a number of books including The Aura of Boxing (2014), Flatland A Landscape of Punjab (2007), Illustration of Life (2002), Autograph Monograph (1996).
Early life and education
Kandhola studied photography at Bournville College of Art, (Birmingham, England) under the guidance of John Hodgetts and his BA Hons Graphic Design (Photography) at University of Wolverhampton (Polytechnic 1991), under the tutelage of social documentary photographer Nick Hedges.
