Grateful for the Experience

Photographing a hospital in Surat, India was a truly enlightening experience.

From the moment I stepped foot inside the bustling facility, I was struck by the vibrant energy and sense of community that pervaded the halls.

The medical staff were incredibly welcoming and allowed me to capture the intricate details of their daily routines, from conducting surgeries to tending to patients. The hospital's architecture was also a highlight, with its striking blend of traditional and modern design elements.
Overall, my time at the hospital in Surat was a valuable and enriching experience that I am grateful to have had as a photographer. I am excited to share these photographs with others and to continue exploring the world of healthcare through my lens - Josef Eliasson
