Capturing tribal lifestyle on lens

Hairdresser plans exhibition of rare photos shot over a decade
Chasing the changing contours of Adivasi lifestyle has been his passion for close to a decade now. And, the fact that he brushes aside his poor financial background (he is a hairdresser by profession) is testimony to the unbridled joy he feels in ‘discovering the hidden treasures’ of the forests in Adilabad is something truly remarkable. The 43-year-old lensman L. Krishna is planning a photo exhibition to showcase some of the rare pictures of Adivasis that he has shot in the last decade, including some from his latest trip. “It is an amazing experience even to watch them from a distance. Yes, some aspects of their lifestyle have changed for good, but other things like having their own electricity and still preferring to drink the clean stream water are some features which showcase their decades-old culture and traditions,” he says.More Related News
