Young “untouchable” children camped in makeshift tents on wasteland, Hyderabad, India, 2013.
My thanks to Tom Holloway and Indira Burgul for guiding my path to this place and to Priyanka and Zoe for being there with me. Most of the children here can’t go to school so work or wander instead in an often dangerous environment. To see more of my pictures of the life changing work a local school does for children from very poor backgrounds, please click HERE.
Amazing, this portrait! :)
Congratulations!
Thanks; definitely beautiful and inspiring subjects! :)

Fascinating gazes!
They are indeed Patti and telling many stories!
A joy to be able to see these images, a joy to see how sympathetically you have taken these images, a joy in my heart because I have seen these type of children on my travels, a joy to know we can so easily care, teach and share our experiences. A warm thanks Peter
I always appreciate your thoughts James. I’m glad that we have the same thoughts about this through from a similar viewpoint :)
As they say “great minds…..” Hope you have a great weekend. regards, James
Impressive photograph.
Congrats.
Many thanks indeed!
Just incredible expressions..beautifully captured.
I agree, their expressions are unique and beautiful :)
Wow. Your photos are breathtaking! And the eyes, the way you capture the details. <3
Thanks Tisha, it makes my really happy that in some way I can take other people to this place. I’m glad you like this :)
Hey Peter, the girl in the front is the same girl who featured in your very first pic, right (the little girl in orange colored dress)? what expressive eyes she’s got! and what lovely bunch of children!
In hell be damned the man who first coined the term as nasty as the ‘untouchable’! These kids here aren’t ‘untouchables’, they are ‘unforgettables’!
They are definitely unforgettable! I have been reading a bit into the background and history of these people of which apparently there are about 160 million in India.
I read about some truly horrifying incidents of persecution and cruelty that almost defy belief.
Its a nasty symptom of human prejudice that is present the world over but in different guises.
