About the Book
These photos were taken in Varanasi in an unexpected trip that lasted only 3 days. Varanasi is a place I always wanted to discover, but my arrival there in October 2008 was somewhat accidental, flying from Nepal. Fortunately I managed to find a place to sleep in one of the few Guest Houses located only 100 meters from the pyres of Manikarnika Ghat. Almost without sleep or food, I wandered on the banks of the Ganges along the 7-8 km where the 84 ghats are laid - in fact the place where everything happens, the spiritual center of this city. Maybe of all India.

About the Creator
Andrei Iliescu
Romania
I was born in 1956, in Bucharest, Romania. Although my education was of a different kind, my passion for photography was formed in childhood. In December 1989 I wandered the streets with my camera and took advantage of the chance I've been waiting for all my life. For the following eight years I was photographer for Sygma, AFP, EPA, and AP. Then I made a choice which at that time seemed to lead me a step further: working on my own in commercial photography. More than ten years I spent working in my studio. It was a huge challenge, but photojournalism kept whispering in my ear and I remembered an old passion repressed over those years: travels. Now I’m attracted by the documentary field working mainly on personal long-term projects.
