Why Kishor Parekh’s photojournalism is especially relevant in the era of controlled, curated images Alongside shooting political events in the 1960s, he adopted a humanist approach and focused on the daily lives of ordinary citizens.

In today’s era of visual politics, where images are carefully curated controlled, and circulated, Parekh’s work reminds us of the courage and craft that defined Indian photojournalism in the 1960s.
