Street children in Patna and Mumbai

About these photos:
The black and white images were taken in Patna and are of the boys that feature in the ESHAAS film. They were a flamboyant bunch and loved to pose for the camera.
The colour images are of the older boys in Mumbai. Many of these boys are rag pickers – they collect rubbish for recycling. At this photo shoot many of them were high from sniffing solvents. This is a common problem with street children as they use substance abuse to hide away from the pain of their day to day existence.
