Faces of India -16

I am back to my favourite subject: Faces of India.

I visited remote tribal area of my state last year. It was interesting and enlightening experience to meet tribal people, in particular children.

I particularly enjoyed photographing this pair of sibling. In spite of their poverty stricken background, they were amazingly smart and sharp. Their expressive eyes were endearing.

She was a one beautiful woman. Staying in the back of the beyond she had a poise and charm to beat any urban woman.

My series continues.....

I love to capture myriad human emotions, I see, on the faces of people I come across. Looking through my viewfinder, I sometimes see the soul of the person, which I cherish and present through my photographs.

I move around streets of cities and villages to capture the faces of India. Many people have asked me whether people object to being photographed. Fortunately, very rarely I have faced the resistance. 

I generally make it very obvious by moving around with my camera in the area. A smile or two and little small talk makes people comfortable. Yes, being a lady also has its advantages. Females are more comfortable around me and males anyway rarely mind.

Children are special delight. Their naughtiness, innocence, expressions make all the efforts worthwhile.

When I capture portraits, I feel complete oneness with my subject. Sometimes it takes an effort to keep my emotions away , particularly with children.
