David Bailey: Naga Hills

Product detailed description

​

David Bailey finally fulfils a lifelong dream in this photographic exploration of the mysterious Naga Hills—a region straddling India and Myanmar, long isolated by conflict and unrest. These densely forested mountains, home to the Naga tribes, have captivated Bailey since youth.

Initially aiming to document the region’s last headhunters, Bailey found himself improvising in classic fashion—cutting through jungle terrain, getting lost, and even dancing with soldiers at remote outposts. The result is a vivid portrait of a remote world, rich in texture, spirit and unexpected moments of connection.

This book expands Bailey’s ongoing fascination with India, offering a visual memoir of discovery, resilience, and raw humanity.
