About the Book
I traveled to India with my husband in 2018 for the first time to explore the people and places of the sub-continent. I focused on street photography throughout the journey, making both posed and candid photos of the people I met. The camera in some cases became the way to open the door and interact on a more personal level with the people. We shared a busy Indian street, but we also could share a moment in time, a smile, and an interaction - even without sharing a word.
There is more to India than the Taj Mahal. I found India to be more about the people than the places. This first trip was only our introduction to this vibrant culture. Life is much different here than our western life, sheltered inside buildings of one sort or another. India is a country with a vibrant street life and my goal was to capture the spirit of life on the streets in my photographs.

About the Creator
Jenn Mishra
St. Louis, Missouri USA
I'm an American photographer born in Colorado and based in the St. Louis metro area. I love to travel and have travelled extensively in the United States & Europe, but even when at home, I try to keep the same sense of adventure – looking for novelty in the everyday; finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. A musician by profession, I have recently become passionate about my photography. I have photographed nearly my entire life, but only to document travels, not to make art. Now, I've found that I can do both.
