See how Mark finds order within the visual complexity of India, using foreground, middle ground and background to build photographs in which people, gesture, and place come together within a single frame.

Drawing on many years photographing across India, Mark will share how he anticipates moments and photographs people naturally.

Follow the process from making individual photographs, to editing and sequencing a wider body of work, culminating in Mark’s book Layers of India.
