Metamorphosis. Evolution. Existence

One million image collective is a collaborative work of Photographers, Writers and Visual Artist to record the lives of one million women round the world visually and through words.

We are at the core committed story tellers who believe in the need to tell the untold stories of million faceless women over the next year.

One million Image collective is a social experiment, reflection and meditation. It is also collaborative . We strive to create an open , liberal platform for dialogue free of cultural or intellectual hegemony for discussion about women and their stories.

The content here is not moderated or restricted. The photographer and writers who are a part of this project are free to present their stories in the form they deem fit.


Through our stories we hope to contribute to the social dialogue about women , their lives, dreams , aspirations and challenges.


Help us in our journey to collect the subconscious feminine voice of this decade. Tell us about the women you know, mail us your stories and thoughts.

Post 17 : Bhubaneshwar, India

I have realised...

Name: Not known
Date Taken: May 2006
Location: Bhubaneshwar, Orissa, Eastern India.

I have realized that the best times that I spend and cherish later on is the times when I made a street child happy. It has happened many a times. This was one such occasion.

In the hot and humid conditions of Bhubaneshwar in the month of May, where staying indoors is the only wise thing to do, people still have to go out to earn bread and butter.
And many often carry their children with them. This kid was the daughter of a vendor selling juice outside the temple complex.

I could not understand one word of Oriya, and the only mode of communication was Smile.

That short period of interaction left an impression on the heart, that will stay forever.
