Amirtharaj Stephen's photostream

I am a Tamil photographer from Indian Sub-continent. My interests lie in, capturing for posterity, stripped glimpses of the world and its inhabitants. Where I come from, the voices of the oppressed are often suppressed. Suffering is taken from granted by those in power and the downtrodden as well. I believe that photographs have the clout to make people look at commonplace incidents in an empathetic manner. It can change the tide of the conflict-ridden and empower the masses to care for each other. I hope to be a part of this process, where I can use my knack for photography and passion for the cause for the greater good of the world.
