In people photography I look at people as mere extensions of nature ,a part of the soul of nature contributing to it and merging into its ambience. To me their faces do not matter because they do not exist in my photo-space independently as themselves but exist as part of nature.They form part of the spatial consciousness and in their movements further the dynamics of nature .They merge effortlessly into nature reacting to it like any other objects in nature through the ambient light that falls on them . Groups of people sitting in corners or huddled together in closed spaces contribute to the spirit as though they are an integral part of the surrounding environment. We look at their shadows ,their silhouettes ,the way they sit huddled in groups,their body languages complementing each other. They become part of the history of the time-space ,a cosmic event chronicled in a photograph.
Especially people on the river banks.as they become part of the river,bathing ,waddling,boating in groups,washing clothes,washing buffaloes etc. People sitting before the temples , pilgrims walking in groups in the orange hues of sunrise.
