India is a land of contradictions. It is the world's most densely populated country & the tiger's last remaining natural habitat, deeply traditional & intensely modern. A land of more than a billion people, eighteen official languages, & every religion, India defies categorization. In India photographer Olivier Follmi captures a land where tradition & modernity co-exist
- the India of the cellphone & the sacred cow. Yet Follmi looks beyond the noise, chaos, & sensory overload of the Indian street to examine deeper truths about the people & their culture. His photos convey beauty & stillness, expressing a philosophy & an approach to life radically different from the West's. Follmi's work

Includes::
portraits of people of all classes
- farmers & potters, dancers & musicians, parents & children
- & probes human interactions with other animals, including cows, monkeys, elephants. He documents the Indian love of ornament, from women's painstaking adornments to the decorated cattle shelters in the humblest of villages. Olivier Follmi first went to India in the 1970s. Working as a guide, leading tourists on Himalayan treks, & photographing India & its people for more than twenty-five years, he came to know the country intimately. He & his wife divide their lives between the Alps & the Himalayas & have written more than 15 books, including Abrams' Buddhist Himalayas. Follmi is the official photographer of the Dalai Lama & recipient of the World Press award.
