About me
George Koruth, popularly known as Fotobaba, is an Indian photographer and avid traveler who has spent the last two decades chasing the profound stories behind faces, landscapes, and communities across the world.
His journey began on the vibrant streets of Kerala, fondly called God's Own Country, where the everyday lives of people stirred his imagination. From there, Fotobaba’s path led him to the hidden corners of India’s villages, the bustling energy of its smaller cities, and eventually — to communities around the globe.
Along the way, his work has been featured in international publications, showcased in exhibitions, and supported by collaborations with leading global brands. He has conducted photography workshops, mentored aspiring visual storytellers, and contributed regularly to top photography magazines across Asia.
Today, Fotobaba focuses on projects that align with his deeper mission: to use photography as a tool for change.
He works on projects related to:
Sustainability and environmental conservation
Public health and mental health awareness
Farming and rural development
Tribal communities and indigenous cultures
Social impact initiatives and NGO storytelling
Medical photography and healthcare documentation
His work combines the eye of a traveller, the empathy of a storyteller, and the discipline of a professional who understands that the most powerful images are those rooted in truth.
When he’s not traveling or photographing, you’ll find Fotobaba living quietly in the densely forested Western Ghats, alongside his wife and their beloved pets — still finding stories, still chasing light, still deeply connected to the rhythms of nature.
He looks forward to collaborating with organizations, NGOs, startups, and individuals who are passionate about making this world a better place — one story, one face, one photograph at a time.
“I am inspired by faces, the unfamiliar in familiar surroundings and the search for familiarity in unfamiliar places. Photography puts me in a state of meditation, which allows me to see things with more clarity. The moment is what counts.”
