Hawkers

We are surrounded by poverty at every step in a city like Mumbai. It forms a huge part of the landscape; never letting us forget. The hawkers are ubiquitous, always being spotted in the background.

I attempted to capture the humans instead of the hawkers; the people instead of the crowd. Removing them from their so-called natural surroundings and placing them inside a studio with just a single colour behind them put the spotlight well and truly on these gregarious individuals and let their soul shine through.
