Dharavi










These are a few shots I liked from a shoot I did in the Dharavi slum in Mumbai for Bloomberg. Dharavi is touted as the largest slum in the world (although I've also read there's one in Pakistan that holds that title) and the setting for most of the slum scenes from the film Slumdog Millionaire. It's a fascinating, congested labyrinth of humanity and industry home to a lot of Mumbai's informal recycling sector and clothing workshops. Reality Tours offers great slum tours with a portion of the money going to social outreach: http://realitytoursandtravel.com/
