    Remembering CHANDRA BODALIA, The Legendary Indo-Canadian Photojournalist

    Darpan News Desk, 25 May, 2018 04:28 PM

      South Asian photographer Chandra Bodalia is being remembered by the loves ones and his followers in the Indo-Candian community. The industry veteran died last year after a long fight against throat cancer.

       

      A popular photographer within the Indo-Canadian community, Bodalia covered diverse events within the community and beyond.

       

      His dedication and love for photography was such that he was popularly known as the ‘smile catcher’.

       

      Bodalia immigrated to Vancouver in 1976 and started as a photojournalist. Over the years, he has travelled throughout the province to cover various events while creating memories along the way. He is said to have a large collection of more than three million images in his library. He has been awarded more than 20 times for his photography skills.

       

      Bodalia was a well-known and loved media photographer with top BC personalities, including former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, knowing him personally.
