Uncle Prasad’s India
I travelled through Goa, Rishikesh, and Mumbai, drawn not to the landmarks but to the people, the way they live, move, and carve out moments of beauty in the everyday. In Mumbai, I was introduced to a man called Uncle Prasad, who became my guide and companion. He took me around the city on the back of his scooter, weaving through traffic and narrow streets, showing me the slums, the hidden corners, and the lives that rarely appear in postcards.
I’m drawn to fleeting moments, the spaces between togetherness and separation, and I tried to capture them in fragments: a glance, a gesture, a shaft of light. Shooting with Uncle Prasad as my guide, these fragments came alive, forming emotional landscapes that connect to something deeply human. This is India as I experienced it, messy, alive, tender, and full of unexpected generosity.
