“IN A PHOTOGRAPH A PERSON’S EYES TELL MUCH, SOMETIMES THEY TELL ALL” – ALFRED EISENSTAEDT

There is something about the look of Indians. The hypnotizing depth of their ebony-colored eyes, in which the iris and the retina melt into one, has always attracted my attention. During my travels throughout India, I wanted to grasp those expressions with the technique of extreme close-up portraits, so that all other distractions disappeared to the eye of the viewer and a direct connection, eye-to-eye, could really take place.
