Motherhood by Ryszard Wierzbicki

When visiting Mumbai I did many portraits of people on streets. That was a great opportunity to develop skills of observation and composition frames. Life is going on, on streets in India and is not so preserved and privatised as in Europe. This is always astonishing for me as a photographer that aspects of life, which are carefully hidden from the public in Western World, are so openly uncovered for the public in Asia.
