Picturing the homeless - Kristian Bertel | Ramganj, Jaipur
This picture of a seated man waiting for his free meal. The picture was captured
in a passing moment in one of the main streets in the Ramganj area in Jaipur.
Photo: Kristian Bertel.
With messy hair and a thoughtful facial expression, the homeless man, captured by Kristian Bertel, is waiting in front of the street dosshouse. With anxious eyes he looks almost desperate. He is just one among many homeless people in India, whose disposable is nothing. On the other side, the monthly income of an average Indian for the first time in the country's history has crossed Rs 3000, and the fortuned middle class of Indians are rising.
But we still notice poor and homeless people as large part of the population. The picture above may pose the question of how we look at statistics.
The work of the photographer has the purpose to capture different faces of the country of India. His intention with his Indian series is to report on conditions in India, seen through an eye of a photographer...
