First edition of Andreas H. Bitesnich's classic portrait of India, a timeless photographic masterpiece capturing the breathtaking beauty and complexity of the world's largest democracy.

Born in Vienna in 1964, Andreas H. Bitesnich is recognized as one of the greatest nude photographers of our time. His passion for photography began when he visited Milan and became inspired by the black-and-white photographs taken by his friend. Not long after, he acquired his first personal camera.

Despite having begun his career by working in retail, Andreas H. Bitesnich chose to devote himself exclusively to professional photography in 1989, and has since been represented at group and solo exhibitions in internationally renowned galleries and museums such as the Museum for Decorative Arts and Crafts in Hamburg and the Kunsthaus Wien.

Andreas H. Bitesnich lives and works in Austria. In his latest book India (released by teNeues Publishing in Septemeber, 2011), Bitesnich diverged from nude photography to document his travels across the sub-continent--creating a record of his fascination and a unique tribute for all that the nation represents.
