First Online Preview of the Land and Lens Project Photos
And finally—
This video features the first public preview of the Land and Lens project photos.
Showcased here is the photography of 9 intergenerational women from rural India, who were part of the Land and Lens project in Karnataka—2017. None of these women had before held a professional-level camera.
Each photography student received basic camera training throughout the project—and as many as 3 week-long self-guided sessions with their donated camera. The photos you see in this video were taken during those independent sessions.
Enjoy the show!
