Portraits of the World. Expressions of India. Part 1
Recently I took a magical journey through the warm and wonderful country of India, with my camera and a classic Royal Enfield motorcycle. For many years prior I had wondered whether or not India would be as I expected it to be, from the many TV programmes that I had watched, and from the many books that I had read, that painted a vivid picture in my mind. My expectations were high, and thankfully it didn't disappoint.
This adventure took me from the hot and humid southern tip in Kanyakumari, to the majestic Himalayan region and as far north as the Nubra Valley, which shares frontier lines with China and Pakistan. There isn't a better way to narrate the story of this vibrant country, than through the facial expressions of the people that made my time there so welcoming.
Here are some of the fascinating characters that I encountered.

The Sewing Man: Ketti, Tamil Nadu, India

The Baba: Varkala, Kerala, India
The Butchers Joke: Ooty Market, Tamil Nadu, India

Hello @internomad !
I love your job, it's so fascinating!
It always wondered me - are you asking these people before you make a picture or you just do it and run away? :D
Thanks!
I always ask for permission. I like to build a relationship in the short time I get to know my subject. I find that the best photos are taken when both parties are relaxed. :)
