I photographed this woman and child in Goa, where spontaneous encounters with local people became some of the most memorable moments of my journey through India.
While travelling through Goa, I was struck not only by the landscape, but also by how naturally people opened up to a stranger with a camera. Moments like this are what I value most in travel photography — brief encounters that say more about a place than any guidebook ever could. I took this photograph during one of those spontaneous meetings, when curiosity, warmth and everyday life came together in a single frame.
