People of Kerala India part one in no particular order.
As promised here is part one of my People of Kerala India series. What can I say without sounding like a broken record? I truly fell in love with this place, everyone is so happy, a sincere happy, all the smiles are sincere you can feel it, and I love every bit of it.
I had it in my head to create a series about the people before I got there, but I was going to make it black and white. The truth is I did not see Kerala in B&W, I saw it colorful and full of life, nothing gray about it. I quickly realized this and started taking lots of photos with a big fat grin on my face, I couldn’t help it, no matter where I pointed the camera there was always a smile on the other side of the lens.
I will have a small series in B&W, but I saw India in full vibrant color, and I think its a fair representation of all the people that make this such a great place. I can’t wait to go back. All this photos were edited with the preset I made and gave all my readers you can find it Here for free.
Please drop me a line and let me know your thoughts.

Good afternoon and happy Saturday people (Sunday to my Indian Peeps). As you know I just got back from a fantastic trip to Kerala India, I came back a changed man, so many stories, so many experiences, so many photos, but most importantly, so many new friends, some that will be in my life until the day I die. I am so grateful and lucky to have gotten the opportunity to go on this trip with so many talented, incredible people. I am forever thankful.
I have so many photos that I will be sharing with you. I will also be releasing a new series from this trip soon, so I think I’ll kick this off by giving you a Lightroom Preset that I made to edit this series. (watch the video where I tell you why I chose to use color and how to upload the preset)
I shot these photos the first day I was there, I was very green to India and a bit timid, I wasn’t sure how people were going to react. I quickly learned that people in India are more friendly than most places I have been to. I love shooting street photography, especially in India, its so fun and the people have so much character.
