India has always been a spiritual home for me. I have been visiting since 1992, mostly to paint, draw and meditate. This is my first journey to the subcontinent with a camera and a passion for street photography. For 42 days I went in search of visual stories of colour, texture, and emotion. The unique blend of ancient tradition and modernism offers an endless palette of scenes waiting to be captured.

Gavin Libotte

Gavin Rene Libotte is a multi-award-winning Australian photographer born in Kent Sussex, England in 1969 and is currently based in Sydney. He studied graphic design, fine art and jazz guitar in Perth, Western Australia. He started photography as a teenager using film while studying graphic design. After a long break he started using iPhones to make images and then went on to use Fuji and Ricoh cameras on the streets. He became a full-time musician and educator and has recently started working as a commercial photographer part-time and spending the rest of his time working on his fine art street photography. Gavin is influenced by painters such as Gorgio De Chirico, Jeffery Smart and Caravaggio. His photographic influences include Ray K Metzker and Alex Webb. He discovered that the practice of photography is in alignment with his meditation routine and can be used to help focus the mind and live in the present moment. Gavin is currently working on some street photography projects and is showing his work in several International Group exhibitions.
