Shot on Illford HP5 film pre covid in New Delhi. I had been backpacking around Sri Lanka and India on a passion project shooting film photographs for a travel magazine that I was creating, and on the trip I kept one black and white roll of film with me. Walking through Hazrat Nizamuddin Shrine in New Delhi, through the thick crowd a lady in a burka was approaching. As we got closer I pulled my camera out and clicked the shutter, and in that moment it was like she looked through my soul and time stopped for a little while.
