Looking out the window – Photographic Expression

Case Studies: India

Kala, on the last day as we returned to the Village in the bus after visiting local temples. This picture too marks the reflective turn as the children began to spend more time looking at the pictures and to look back at the camera in a less conventional, less stylised and more reflective way, rather than adopting the standard poses that are normally expected by adults.
