Portraits of India
3:2 aspect ratio
Artwork Description
| The 'Power of Two', for me, is in each time both a 'sitter' and a photographer connect to make a portrait. I enjoy travel, meeting and connecting with new people, particularly through photography. Portraits can feel like the visual memory of those moments which exist when two people connect beyond any spoken language barriers, creating something together, which endures over time. I took these portraits in Rajasthan, India. |
