Mother and Elsa: from Life is Elsewhere by Sohrab Hura

I’ve always wondered about what new photography is happening in India but never really knew quite how dynamic Indian photography is until I asked Sohrab Hura (Magnum member and author of the truly fantastic Life is Elsewhere) about it. Sohrab is helping to run the Delhi Photo-Festival – which takes place at the beginning of November and doubles up with Photo Kathmandu if you’re thinking of an India/Nepal Photo-Festival double-header.

Interesting overview of photography in India (and to a lesser extent other parts of South Asia). I especially liked the links to the work of various Indian photographers. This will make it much easier for me to pursue this topic further – although as Mr. Hura points out: “Many of the photographers in India don’t have websites so you’ll need to dig a bit to see their works and I’m sure I’ve missed out on quite a few other names as well.”
