This image is from a recent trip to India.<br />

I was there shooting a campaign for Thare<br />

Machi Education, a small charity from my<br />

hometown. Thare Machi create educational<br />

DVDs in local languages to educate people on<br />

basic health and they will soon be opening an<br />

Indian branch in Delhi.<br />

When I made this image I was photographing a<br />

family who had watched one of the lessons on<br />

the importance of using a bed net some time<br />

ago. As a result, this man and his family all had<br />

bed nets to protect them from diseases spread<br />

by mosquitoes and other insects.<br />

The image was taken when visiting the<br />

Panchantala slums in Kolkata which lie on and<br />

around the railway tracks. This was one of<br />

the most challenging and yet most rewarding<br />

environments that I have worked in and I would<br />

love to shoot another campaign for a non-profit<br />

organisation. The charities campaign will be<br />

launched in April in the House of Lords, along<br />

with my first solo exhibition of photographs.<br />
