Radhika Chalasani: Widow City

Ms Chalasani is a New York-based photojournalist, and covered Vietnam's emergence from isolation, the aftermath of the Rwanda genocide, and the famine in Sudan; coverage for which she received many coveted awards.

Her most recent work on Indian widows in Vrindavan is the principal reason for her appearance on TTP. Her gender may have granted her easier access to the widows, but that takes nothing away from her talented compositions. See for example, her choice of viewpoint in the image of the widow getting a haircut, in the one of the broken sink in a widow's hovel and the final image of a cow sharing a narrow alley with an elderly widow.

Again, her website is Flash-based, so no shortcuts are available. Her gallery on the widows is titled Widow City
