Niko Works | A Journey Through India | Ever since I learnt how to drive, I have been exploring remote villages of India to interact with people and cultures which are very different from mine. For this reason, photography has become a great excuse to take a deeper look and given me the ability to share these unique visuals with the rest of the world. Environmental portraits I believe are the best way to tell a person’s story as it not only emerges the viewer into the scene but also conveys what it felt like to be with the person in the frame. Therefore, since a few years I have been on a mission to document stories of people working in unique and challenging environments and those who live in close bond with nature throughout India. My journey so far has been life changing and I have had the opportunities to take some incredible and rare photos. Having the right approach and being able to communicate with most of the people in the language they understand has proved a great asset for me and helped me with my goal of creating one of a kind and impactful photographs
