Why we liked it: Eulalie’s photography frames one of this “only-in-India” moments compelling us to smile together with the girls upon which he elephant’s blessing is bestowed.
Eulalie, can you give us a few details about your biography?
I am a student, I’ve been pursuing art at university for five year, initially in France and this year in Chile. Travel photography is not my speciality. I like capturing some imaginary pictures too. I work across dream, the absurd, childhood, fantasy, sweetness and poetry. I try to show a soft and peaceful world through my photos.
Where was this picture taken?
This picture was taken at a temple’s main entrance. In India, in front of temples, there are often elephants blessing people in exchange of food or money.
What are your trying to convey with your pictures?
I try to show the atmosphere of these places. India is a peaceful, colorful and welcoming country, it’s exactly what I want to show through my photos.
What pushed you to participate in a contest?
For me a photo is made to be shown. And a contest is a good place to share work with people who like the same thing.
What are your plans for the future?
I’m in Chile right now so I want to take the most out of this opportunity to travel in South America. I’ll go to Brazil, Peru and Bolivia soon.
“India!”: 1000for1’s International Photography Competition is open until the 29th of December, come and join Eulalie, create a profile and let us see your pictures!
