Blurb:

Layers of India: A Documentary Photography Journey is a captivating visual through the rich tapestry of India’s culture, people, and traditions. Captured with a documentary and street photography approach, Mark Seymour’s images immerse you in the raw, vibrant, and deeply human stories that define this extraordinary country. From the bustling streets of Kolkata to the spiritual serenity of Varanasi, each photograph is a moment frozen in time—unposed, authentic, and filled with emotion.

With a signature style that masterfully blends dramatic light, rich textures, and intimate compositions, this book goes beyond photography—it’s a celebration of India’s essence, a deeply personal exploration of its everyday beauty, rituals, and traditions. Seen through the eyes of a true visual storyteller, these images offer a unique and powerful perspective on one of the world’s most captivating destinations.

Mark’s approach to photography is rooted in the art of layering, a technique that adds depth and complexity to each frame by incorporating multiple elements within a single composition. His skilful use of light and shadow creates mood and atmosphere, while his eye for colour and texture brings India’s rich visual contrasts to life. By anticipating moments and positioning subjects within layered environments, Mark transforms fleeting interactions into timeless, multi-dimensional narratives. This mastery of composition and storytelling ensures that each image is not just a photograph, but a window into the soul of India
