Less then nine months after the teenage photographers from India received their first photography class they opened their first real photography exposition on the 26th of November for inhabitants and visitors of Varansi. You can imagine how proud the teenagers and their parentsD where to see the pictures hanging in a real gallery and being watched by many visitors. The theme of the exposition was “Documents of the every day”. It showed pictures with Indian streetlife through the eyes of  the 10 Indian FairMail photographers.

This great moment in the careers of the teenagers wouldn’t have been possible without the great initiative of our volunteers Annelies and Elena, the effort of our manager Akshay and the hospitality of the gallery holder, Mr. Nag.

At this moment behind the scenes an effort is being made to get a photobook published with other street life pictures made by the teenagers. An American publisher has shown interest. As soon as we know more we will let you know.
