Pretty Children, by Ajit Chouhan

This image was taken in a small sleepy village in Karnataka near a tiny hamlet called Kodagu. It’s a special image as India is trying hard to promote girl child due to deep rooted gender bias leading to various social challenges. Govt of India is running a “Save a girl child “campaign to create a better and a safer place for girls. On my way back from the village jungle lodge our vehicle got stuck in a mud hole and while we were looking for some local support, these kids came out of their mud house, which was also a tea shop. They were curious with the melee happening around and I was lucky to capture their smile.

For Ajit photography is a search for deeper meaning of life. He started taking photography seriously around 4-5 years back, since then he has enjoyed every moment of exploring the joy of being a shutterbug. He loves to explore and challenge myself with every type of this art. He thinks every image represent a perspective which is unique to mankind’s ability to view things differently. To him, “Every picture tells a story, it conveys the joy, the pain, and the various shades of human nature. It makes you think, it gives you a reason to imagine, will hold your attention, will take you on joyride. It will take you into a different world of colors and imagination. It will make you see the world in a different way, different shade.”
