The pictures of this story Dhobi Ghat laundry located in central Mumbai, describe a reality of daily life where he does everything inside the laundry in the open, and about 14,000 people live there and are maintained by washing clothes by hand in a submerged in tanks detergent, for hotels, hospitals and private persons.

My name is Stefano Stafuzza born in 1968, I am an Italian freelance photographer. I live in Friuli Venezia Giulia in the province of Gorizia and photographer since 1985, starting with landscapes, naturalistic themes and then moving on to social reportage.
In 2004 I trained and enriched my photographic skills by attending the social reportage workshop organized by TPW (Toscana Photo Workshop) with David Alan Harvey, Kent Kobersteen, Alexandra Boulat.
From 2006 to 2009 I worked with the National Geographic Slovenia on a reportage on the traditional market of the city of Ljubljana.
I like to wander the streets of a city or any other place in search of the opportunity to capture a single moment in time and space, fundamental factors for the success of a good photograph. I try to fill the frame with information that makes a strong image, starting from even small details and the background is as important as the first floor that can define the sense of place.
