Photographing Delhi with Jordan Hammond

Despite Delhi being pure and utter chaos, it is a city that you need to visit at least once to truly appreciate India. Throw yourself in the deep end and visit Khari Baoli, the biggest spice market in Asia, for some great portraits and street photography opportunities. The market is in full swing early in the morning, so make sure you’re there to witness it at its best. You can take the stairs up to the roof of the market next to the mosque for a unique perspective, and watch the locals get ready for a day of hard work. When your lungs can’t take the spices in the air anymore, make your way to the Jama Masjid Mosque, one of the largest mosques in India. The mosque is a prime example of Mughal architecture and was made by the same person that commissioned the Taj Mahal. I’d recommend going early whilst it is still relatively quiet and hope for the infamous Delhi pigeons to fly into prime position for your photographs.
