Face to face with the Chin

Myanmar's Chin tribes draw us in for some serious photographic goodies: tattooed tribeswomen with great ink, great stories and photogenic lifestyles.

Tea and tattoos

We stop for a cuppa with the Apatani tribe of Arunachal Pradesh and talk about their fading facial adornment and customs.

Fishing with the Mishing

Gone shootin': We join Majuli's Mishing fishermen on a foggy morning and return home with a splendid catch.

What’s cooking?

Taches and turbans

A face-to-face photo-romp through Rajasthan, India, where beards, mustaches and turbans are taken mighty seriously.

In Nagaland's deep jungle, we meet warriors who were at the top of their game — until the game changed.
