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.

Kerala India
First week in Kerala India has been amazing, where do I start? I feel really fortunate and honored to be here. I am with the coolest group of people in a really amazing place. Check out keralablogexpress.com to meet everyone.
As soon as I got here I fell in love with the people, they are so nice, always smiling always hanging out, the women are beautiful, and the kids are just so cool. Everybody is so welcoming and their smiles are contagious. I think in order to understand a place or even start to like it you must first like the people, in this case I love everyone here.
I have always heard about this place, nothing I say will do Kerala any justice, you just have to put it on your bucket list and come check it out…
