A selection of intimate portraits by New York City-based photographer Anumeha. While currently focusing on cinematography, these photos were taken during a 5-month journey across South Asia:

“Out of everything I’ve tried within photography, I always come back to portraiture… Looking into someone’s eyes is such a fundamental, human way of connection, and I love using the camera to get up close and personal. With these portraits, I tried to capture the diversity of life I saw on my trip: photographing people in their regional clothing, their daily routines, or in their usual places of being.”
