Mitch Epstein’s photos of India, shot between 1978-1988 while he was working on various films with his Indian wife, symbolize his transition from an outsider and a tourist to an Indian family member.
As described on his website, “the resulting pictures reject a prevailing photographic exoticism to instead concentrate on the mundane and intimate. Epstein’s enduring interest in the interaction between society and landscape is also evident. His approach to India echoes his photographic approach to America during the same period.”
