The Colours of Southern India

Rating:
Summary: A visual feast
Review: A lovely feast for the eyes in a small-ish paperback book. There is very little text or explanation, but if you would like to revel in the rich hues of south India, you will probably enjoy this book. This is a photographic work rather than a travel guide. The book is divided into sections by color. I wish there had been more descriptions of the images.

Summary: Colors galore
Review: I have a large collection of India photographic books. It was a good idea to focus on color. The colors of India are magnificent and Barbara Lloyd has captured them nicely. I was disappointed that there was no mention of what equipment, technique or even what film was used.

Summary: blatant glorification
Review: i have been to the south of india before, as a tourist and as a photographer. this book was really disapointed me because of the blatant explotation of the people in the book, india already has an identity, by dressing these people up and setting up the shots as she has, she is renforceing the sterotypical western preconceptions of this nation,forcing an identity on the country which is not its self representation.
