City of Photos

City of Photos explores the little known ethos of neighborhood photo studios in Indian cities. Tiny, shabby studios that appear to be stuck in a time warp turn out to be places throbbing with energy. The cities in which these stories unfold themselves become backdrops, their gritty urban reality a counterpoint to the photo palaces. Desires, memories and stories, all so deeply linked to the photographic experience, come together as part of a personal journey into the city of photos. (raintreefilms.net)
