Fazal Sheilkh - The Circle

These images were taken from a series of images that were of woman in India. The purpose of the images was to show that the life of woman in this part of the world seemed to be going round in circles throughout the generations. They were not really going any were just doing that what there ancestors before them had done. 

I decided to look at the images of the younger members of society. I think that its interesting because when you look at the images of the parents they look sad almost like they know what there life is and that its basically low quality. However i think that normally when you look at images of children like this they look full of happiness and dreams. yet in these images you can see the sorrow in the eyes and faces of the children. Maybe they know what there life's path is? 






I think that the fact that these images are in black and white really ands to the intensity of the images and makes them have more emotion. There is nothing distracting you. I also really like the shallow depth of field on the image of the baby, really makes you concentrate on the face. This series of images is one i really like and think that they are really strong and hold a lot of emotion.
