India

My time in India can best be described as one memorable journey and one very big wedding—at least big from a European perspective. It was a vibrant and immersive experience, filled with color, movement, and moments that felt both unfamiliar and welcoming. All of the images in this gallery were taken in the south of India, in the state of Tamil Nadu. During my time there, I had the chance to observe daily life, traditions, and celebrations that offered a glimpse into the richness and diversity of the region. These photographs capture some of those impressions—small fragments of a place and culture that left a lasting impression.
