Graeme BATTERBURY

I have been photographing people and places since 1971. Traveling extensively in India, I have built up a large photographic portfolio of people and their environment.

Perhaps more importantly though, I have become deeply involved in a Women's Empowerment programme for Scheduled Caste women in rural Bihar, bringing opportunity through the establishment of Self Help Groups, micro-credit management, capacity-building and by creating social and environmental awareness through which sustainable development can be possible.

Professionally I specialised in photographing live performances at music and cultural festivals.I am currently concentrating on website design and construction and finding ways to present images in contemporary ways.

Graeme Batterbury’s Specialties:
photo-journalism, portraits of people in their landscape.
