Maze Collective Studio (MCS) is a New Delhi-based photography studio that was set up in 2019, with a focus on analogue photography and alternative printing processes. The studio conducts yearly artist residencies for emerging practitioners, looking to work outside the digital medium in photography. In addition, MCS conducts workshops, mentors emerging artists, and actively collaborates with other art disciplines. 

 

The studio started with an idea to set up a community darkroom and make analogue methods accessible to those interested in working within that medium. As photography gets overwhelmingly digitized, it seemed necessary to create a space where one could access the history of the medium and work outside the digital.

 

In 2023, Maze Collective Trust was officially registered and formed, the Maze Studio is now an initiative of the trust.
