Happy Sunday Peeps!
Well I haven’t posted anything from my groups series for a while – not since July 2013 in fact. (see Groups No.5 here) My quest to photograph groups of people has been pretty slow over the last six months, or perhaps I have been missing opportunities due to focussing on other projects (such as my new ‘Ubiquitous India’ series).
For any new readers, my mission is simple – get groups of people to pose for the camera. Even better if they are in uniform or at least have a common theme – and really superb if they happen to be a group of five (my magic number for a really good group shot). Theses photos seem to document Indian life in a unique way whilst portraying to the world what a friendly nation I now reside in. Cool eh?
Anyway, here are my recent efforts:
Three bakers from the back of Yazdani Parsi bakery in Fort |
Hmmm…these uniforms could do with a wash! Waiters at Punjabi Moti Halwal in Fort (great lassi place) |
One of my favourite places to capture uniformed workers – at the petrol pump! Too bad there is a smudge on my lens |
Outside the same Macdonalds – a group of students on their way back to school after a healthy lunch |
Dapper lads in almost identical outfits – Old Goa |
From the Dahi Handi festival – a group of supporters for one of the human pyramid teams. Smiling was a challenge…. |
A jubilant (and rather over excited) Dahi Handi pyramid team |
Another jubilant human pyramid team – this time all female and very pleased to pose for the camera |
No reason why I can’t take my project outside of India! I found this group of cyclists at the top of a Gorge in Provence this summer |
At Tadoba Tiger Reserve – guards waiting to accompany jeeps in to the park …couldn’t quite get them to stand in line. |
An adorable family from a rural village in Tadoba, Maharashtra. Mum, daughter, grandson, grandma, aunties. |
Waiting for a bus – rural village in Tadoba |
Lovely ladies at Banganga Tank last week |
Does this count? A group of cormorants on Lake Ashtamudi, Kerala. |
Semi-uniformed porters at the fishing port, Kollam (Kerala) |
Fishermen – as above |
