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.

I have chosen to shoot portraits to create a topographic overlay of the academy beyond any nationalistic identity.
