Life at NDA - photo gallery

National Defence Academy, Poona. 2018 This series on the  National Defence Academy  in India joint Services academy of the  Indian Armed Forces , where cadets of the three services, the  Army , the  Navy  and the  Air Force  train together before they go on to pre-commissioning training in their respective service academies. It is the first tri-service academy in the world. In 2013, I travelled to NDA to realize the portraits of cadets from one of the most important military academies in the post-colonial world. Interested since for a long time in the quest of looking at the so-called “Indian” Military identity — I met these young officers cadets who are a symbol of the link that exists between their school’s traditions and their history, and the future these cadets hold for the subcontinent’s military system. I have chosen to shoot portraits to create a topographic overlay of the academy beyond any nationalistic identity.
