==Background==
Patel mainly shoots his photographs in India.<ref>[http://www.twelve21gallery.com/orlando-art-sutra-photography-by-yatin-patel/ Orlando Art – Sutra] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120331020853/http://www.twelve21gallery.com/orlando-art-sutra-photography-by-yatin-patel/ |date=31 March 2012 }} Twelve21Gallery.

==Sutra series== A Sanskrit word, "Sutra" translates to a "thread or line that holds things together."
The Sutra project employs high dynamic range imaging, which is a photographic style that evenly distributes exposure in all parts of an image. "Sutra" also focuses on Ahmedabad, which is a partitioned city.
==Printing style==
Some of the "Sutra" series of prints have been printed on Japanese washi paper, which is a flexible medium for printing. Made from the mulberry plant, washi paper is ideal for printing in that it doesn't use chlorine bleaching and is stronger than regular papers.
The prints are produced by Cone Editions Press (by Jon Cone). These prints are of the highest printing quality.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fritsch|first=Eileen|title=Jon Cone Uses Custom Inkset for Sutra Exhibition Photo Prints|url=https://greatoutput.blogspot.com/2011/09/jon-cone-uses-custom-inkset-for-sutra.html|publisher=Great Output Blog|access-date=22 September 2011}}</ref>
