If your muse is not a scenic landscape or an exotic face, but India's chaotic roads, perhaps street photography is your calling. Four street photographers have launched a collective, That's Life. Sunday MiD DAY catches up with one of them, Kaushal Parikh

What is That's Life about?
That's Life is a collective of photographers, showcasing a range of street photography created in India. We currently have four members and are on the lookout for more talent. We hope to make it the default site for anyone who wants to see great street photography from India.

How did the idea come about?
I have been shooting on the streets of India for a few years, but it took a long time for my work to get noticed. With reassurance from some prominent international street photographers and a big push from Eric Kim (a well-known street photographer from Los Angeles) I decided to try and form a collective. There are a lot of talented street photographers in India who continue to shoot in a bubble and often go unnoticed. As a collective we can wield more power and gain more exposure.
