This is one of the most inspiring books in a while. I want to grab my camera and fly to India now! I hope this amazing country gets back on its feet soon. Thanks for sharing!
He is definitely one of the best colour photographers of our time. I like it that there is no background music to interfere with us processing the images. Looking at them makes me want to fly to India immediately. :)
Oh these are pictures of a lost India... from decades ago. True - the chaos exists. The population is more and more. Magic is still in the streets. But the synthetic element and hyperproduced branding has killed most streets... filled with sign boards, its a different approach now needed. The people in their lives live the same way.. but hard to capture anyone without a phone. 21st century India is a different beast. Yes.. there are ancient places, timeless spaces, the gap between real and unreal is still there... if a person nudges into that gap Magic is still to be seen.
Well, that's what usually happens when people went to other countries to take pictures. I agree we need to stock more works from local South Asia photographers.

I also think background music interferes with processing images. But you can always mute the sound. Music is an option.
Thanks for showing this fine example of Gruyaert"s work.
