A trip to fascinating India

  • Photographer
    Alexandru Ilea, Romania

The series represents a selection of black & white photographs from a 3
months long trip in India.
The photographs in this series show moments from the life of Indian
people : a man at work, pilgrims enduring the cold in the holy city of
Ayodhya, children playing, and a boy combing his hair close to the river
where pilgrims take the holy dip.

I am a photographer based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I have been taking photographs since 2006, though I have only started to take it more seriously since 2013 when I participated to several workshops with Magnum photographer Nikos Economopoulos and In-Public member and photojournalist Maciej Dakowicz.

My portfolio includes mostly travel photographs, with recent work from my 3 months travel in India.
