In September 2018 I was invited to attend Visa Pour L’Image by CANON Europe. This event is the worlds largest festival of photojournalism and is held in Perpignan, France.

The body of work which made this opportunity possible was taken three years beforehand in New Delhi, India. The photographs were made in monochrome to purposefully contrast the vibrant photographical portrayals most commonly associated with the environment of New Delhi. The soft images were originally segments of much larger scenes that have been restricted to focus on the quiet and contemplative moments of the city’s fast-paced environment.
