Photographs from half a decade ago. Shot on my Fuji SLR, 35mm film. A visit to the Siyaram Silk Mills in Maharashtra to photograph the factories and shop floors. Comparing the quality of my photographs from then and now, I was quite a terrible photographer I might add.

The shoot itself was managed quite well by the Siyarams staff. This was one of the two initial paid photography shoots that I had completed. During this particular shoot, I realized that being a woman industrial photographer was slightly easier from one aspect – the workers tend to look into the camera with none of the camera-shyness that would otherwise be present.
