Highlights
In 1955, Haleema Hashim stands in front of a mirror, watching with quiet amusement as her husband Hashim Usman tentatively operates a Yashica film-roll camera
There is an outtake nature to the image they produce, Hashim’s concentration, and Haleema’s slightly glassy-eyed look implying a longer moment of experimenting with and being immersed in photography (c. 1950s, figure 1)
It appeared under the caption ‘My great-grandmother, the Incredible Photographer’ on Indian Memory Project, ‘an online, curated, visual and narrative based archive’, marking Haleema out in the increasingly popular history of amateur and domestic photography in India.[1]
