The Magic of Black & White Portrait

Anjan Ghosh's photography is rooted in rural and semi-urban India, documenting people and ways of life that are increasingly affected by rapid urbanisation. His work takes him into villages across West Bengal and other parts of India, where he photographs everyday people and the realities of rural life. Rather than focusing on poverty, the photographs seek to portray people with dignity while drawing attention to lives, communities and traditions that are changing over time.
