Meeting people from different cultures and understanding that you’re both unique yet also the same really broadens your horizons. Yet most of us can’t travel to all the corners of the world. However, just because we can’t shake hands with a person from a distant place doesn’t mean we can’t get introduced to these beautiful people as well. Enter professional photographer Magdalena Bagrianow.
This UK-based Polish photographer has traveled to India with a camera in her hand and took quite a few portrait photography shots of the locals. And they’re so powerful, and you can almost feel the emotions the subjects were going through at the time. Many of the travel pictures were taken in their usual surroundings as well, only strengthening the sense of sincerity.
Although India’s population growth has been steadily decreasing since the beginning of the 1990s, the country still ranks as the second most inhabited. The 1,3 billion people that live there equate to about 17.5% of the total world population. If you’re interested in how the people there look – check out Magdalena’s amazing travel photography shots!
