The Indian photographer Sohrab Hura’s photo journal “Life Is Elsewhere” shows his mother’s struggle with mental illness.
Sohrab Hura’s vivid, sometimes surreal photography explores the position in the world that he finds himself in. Though Hura initially worked through the prism of social documentary, he soon turned his strong vision inward, creating visual journals of his life and personal relationships as a means to “find [his] own logic”. In the summer of 1999, when he was only 17, Hura’s mother was diagnosed with acute paranoid schizophrenia. A deeply personal project, “Life is Elsewhere” focuses on Hura’s relationship with his mother and how it continues to evolve. Of the series, Hura says: “[It] is a journal of my life, my family, my love, my friends, my travels, my sheer need to experience all that is about to disappear.”

Take a look. above background photo by yang yi Below is the article by Conor Risch for PDN, followed by images from each of the 30 photographers and links to their personal sites. Look at the photographers in this year’s PDN’s 30 class and you’ll find a solid refutation of the idea that “everyone is a photographer now.” Did “everyone” move to Beijing to freelance for the AP with no financial guarantee like Danfung Dennis? Or live out of a mini-van so they could create a major project like Scott Conarroe? Or defy social norms to become one of the only female photojournalists from Gaza like Eman Mohammed? Is “everyone” willing to be as patient as Alex Prager, who put on her own shows when gallerists ignored her? Does “everyone” have 2,250 followers on Flickr like Ben Roberts? Perseverance and determination are common to all these photographers but equally notable is the individuality of their interests and styles. These photographers have produced long-term projects on music scenes (Lauren Dukoff), orthodox Hasidic communities (Clémence De Limburg), and a mother’s paranoid schizophrenia (Sohrab Hura). They have used the visual language of gritty reportage to shoot cookbooks (Gabriel Stabile) and created photojournalism based on “a sense of feeling” (Andy Spyra). They have used modern image-making techniques to lament the destruction of a centuries-old city (Yang Yi). They tell stories that matter to them in ways that make them matter to viewers. Yes, it’s true: a lot more people are taking pictures now than when PDN was founded 30 years ago. But only a very small percentage of those people are photographers.
