Faces of India Gallery

Finally I've got my first collection of photos from my trip to Asia up and on my website.   This is a collection of photos of some of the people I met across India.

After spending 4 months travelling and talking to hundreds of people across the country, generalisations do not work.   India is a complex country with over 2000 years of history that feeds into modern life.   This creates a mindset that would take years to decipher and creates paradoxes that confound.   I think that any judgements or simplification would be wrong.

All I know is that I want to go back to meet more of the people, be overwhelmed by the culture, amazed by everyday moments and try to learn more about this amazing place.   It is rare to find a country so unique as India in the modern world.

So, more India galleries to come and more of the other countries we visited as well...​

Band Photoshoot - The Energy Practice

 
 

I've just completed a band photoshoot in London for 'The Energy Practice'.   One of my friends Andy is in the band and he needed some promo shots so he gave me a shout.

 
 

We shot mainly around Finsbury Park after Colin, on of the band members, had a look around for locations.   It was freezing but we still had a bit of a laugh.​

It was a fun experience and ​after my initial nerves passed, I learn't a lot.   Next time I think that I need to find the locations myself so that I can be a bit more prepared and have an idea what I'm going to shoot before we get there.   On the other hand, an adaptive, free form method keeps it interesting in a way that street photography works. The other part is I need to be able to direct people in a clearer way.

​Cheers guys, was interesting!
