Humanitas: Images of India by Fredric Roberts

Roberts pictures various people from India, Myanmar, Cambodia, Bhutan, Thailand, and China as they go about their lives selling water or herding camels. Simultaneously, this exhibition illuminates the quiet corners that often don’t have witnesses, such as people in prayer or a mother and child. The images are primarily portraits, but also include some landscapes. Fredric Roberts uses color and composition consciously and exquisitely, fashioning his shots with visual and sensuous artistry.
