At a visit to one of the villages on my recent visit to Bundelkhand. The black Kaajal (काजल) you see on the child’s forehead is a result of our ancient belief that it wards off the evil eye.
About Me
- André Jeanpierre Fanthome
- The youngest of 3 photographers to have received the National Academy Award for Visual Art, I live and work out of New Delhi and Lucknow, in India. Commercially my work revolves around Architecture and Industrial work, my personal work is a palette of varied subjects and always changing. Teaching and mentoring young photographers in the hope that it will help them improve their work is something high on my priority list. Born and raised in a tiny village in Bhutan I graduated from St. Stephens college, Delhi where I picked up Photography. After traveling the world for about 5 years ( 5 continents and 30 odd countries) I returned to India in 2007.
