Light People Dark Places – India
I love the intimate quality of barely lit images. Weather candle light, firelight, or a single electric bulb, the contrast in light and dark has always drawn me. The challenge of photographing it excites me even more! In India, it is (sadly) too easy to find subject matter, with many villages still without electricity, and many scheduled power cuts in the towns.

The world’s poor spends a staggering US$ 40 billion annually for their energy needs. This equals 10 to 25% of their precarious monthly household budgets on dirty fuels like kerosene. Many remote villages in tribal India are still without electricity. Just £15.00 buys a solar light which will give a family more than enough good light on a daily basis when fully charged. Women can continue with their work, without the toxic hazard of burning kerosene and more importantly children can study into the evening without damaging their eye sight. Whenever I am given a charity donation my first thought is which village needs solar lights!
