In the couple days I've been out in Delhi, I've seen a lot of historic buildings, but the most fascinating thing I've seen has been the people. To be able to capture the expression of stranger - happiness, confusion, desperation -- is magical. My trick is to stand a distance and use the zoom so the person doesn't think my camera is aimed at them. The expression that I was looking at is often gone by the time I can snap the image, occasionally I get lucky. There's lots of postcards and photos of Raj Ghat and the Taj Mahal, but moments such as the ones captured below have never been captured before and can never be captured again.
I love the intense color of the clothing and the surroundings as well as the intensity of the expressions. Great work.
