Faces of India-15

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.

Faces of India - 12

Here goes part 12 of my series Faces of India. For the current series, i have decided to concentrate on children of India. Cute, mischievous, lively, ever smiling they are delight to be with.

These children were so eager to be photographed. Shyness and curiosity on their faces are so endearing.

Indian children with their big eyes and innocent faces look cute and cuddly.

Lives of  many children are not easy and fun filled as one wants it to be.

What he was thinking so deeply about?

 They captivate me with their smile. They charm me with their innocence. Beautiful kids of my beautiful country.
