    Shadowing Suvartha on his Waste-Picking Route in Vijayawada
    (2020) Shrutika Murthy
    The photo-essay is an immersive and reflective exercise that attempts to understand the daily lives of waste pickers through documenting "a day in life" of Suvartha, a waste picker in Vijayawada. It highlights the hazardous and inhuman working conditions of waste pickers lacking any protective equipment, constant bending and carrying heavy loads leading to physical exhaustion, body soreness, joint and muscle pain.
