The Burning City
«…In Jharia, India, a young girl stands amid coal dust and smoke, her face marked by exhaustion. This image starkly illustrates the brutal reality of child labor in the coal mines, where children face severe health risks and are denied education. Trapped in poverty, they endure grueling work in dangerous, unregulated conditions. Despite existing laws, enforcement is weak in these informal sectors. NGOs like Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) work tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate these children, striving to break the cycle of poverty and provide them with a safer, brighter future…»

BED OF ROSES
«…The photograph was taken in a Municipal Dumping Ground in Howrah, India. The child worker is working in a plastic shorting godown on the street.

Sunlit Serenity – A moment of peace in rural India
«…It is mid day and the sun has started warming up the rural landscape as we return from a safari at the tiger reserve, close to Khajuraho, North Central India. As soon as we enter this village, I ask our guide to allow us a few moments in this true India life situation. Soon I get lost among small streets, the smells and sounds of rural India… Villagers have stopped their morning chores and look curiously at the strange “intruder”. This couple and their mother showed a particular interest in their picture and became very friendly, inviting us for matcha tea….»

«…Youth in all countries is the primary capital of any system and government for the development of the country.
Time passes earlier for some people and in some countries than in other places, and youth reaches fruitless old age! In this street photo, I have mentioned the passing of life and youth by hunting a young subject under the clocks…»

Colored Wall
«…In Rhodes island. My background was ready since someone had taken care of it by painting the gray wall in Rhodes-Lindos road. I stood on the opposite sidewalk and after a long time and many indifferent shots I waited for the element that would highlight my colored frame. My persistence and patience are typical parts of my works. As a strike of luck, the African biker with the black clothes and the black bike added the missing piece to my colorful puzzle…»
