Leica Camera invited 10 photographers from around the world to participate in an extraordinary event. These photographers would be paired with their artistic ÔÇ£fathersÔÇØ and asked to shoot a series of images with that person in mind. Craig SemetkoÔÇÖs creative progenitor was Elliott Erwitt and with ErwittÔÇÖs influence to inspire him Semetko set off for India in the summer of 2013.

┬áÔÇ£India is a street photographerÔÇÖs dream. The people are extraordinarily welcomingÔÇöthey do not mind having their pictures taken,┬áin fact, they usually welcome itÔǪÔÇØ

Craig Semetko is one of the best street photographers practicing the craft today. Craig was gracious enough to allow us to use three of his images from his India trip in this post. These photographs along with many others are included in an exhibition currently showing through 5/25/14 at the Leica Gallery in Los Angeles.

This body of work is also now available as a limited edition book, ÔÇ£India Unposed.ÔÇØ Sure to be a collectorÔÇÖs item, you can find the book by visiting the link below.
