Winter further hailed India for its diverse culture, stating that the nation has “so much to offer,” whether in Rajasthan or Kerala.
The photographer also pointed out another specific reason he keeps coming back to India since his first trip in 1979: Indian food.
“It’s like a rainbow in your mouth, all the different flavors. I love it,” he said.
Winter is a two-time winner of the World Press Photo first prize in the Nature category in 2008 and 2014 and is also the recipient of the Global Vision Award from Pictures of the Year International (POYi).
