Posted on 6 December 2010

sonu200A sad week for FairMail and for the inhabitants of Nagwa, Varanasi, India: Sonu died last Monda, the 4th of October…… He was a FairMail photographer from March 2009 until August 2010. He had been ill for many years (he suffered from chronic hepatitis B) and had several treatments, but this time his body could not go on any further.

We will remember him as a sweet, smiling, active boy who always said “I am fine“, who was a great cook and a photographer who liked to take photos of working people, colourful cloths and jewelry.

Here are some of his best photos….. More of his photos will follow, and through his photos Sonu will stay alive!

Volunteer photography trainer Erika also shared her memories of Sonu with us: https://erikasomogyi.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-am-continuing-to-enjoy-working-with.html
