On Buddha’s Footsteps
A photographic journey through Buddhist sites, living practice and landscape for Incredible India.
The commission
A Buddhist geography, seen through people and place.
The series was photographed for the Incredible India Buddhist Trail. Monument, ritual, portrait and landscape come together as one journey across regions and histories.
The campaign moves between the scale of a monument and the presence of a single person.
People within place
Heritage is lived.
Portraits keep the trail in the present: belief, ritual and everyday life continue around historic sites.
Ajanta and Ellora
Architecture, image and trace.
The rock-cut sites shift the visual rhythm from open landscape to carved space, painted surfaces and deep architectural perspective.
