India Gate is a soaring sandstone war memorial built in the early 20th century to honour Indian soldiers killed in the first world war, set at the centre of a wide open boulevard lined with lawns and pathways. The arch itself gives you a strong focal point, with clean symmetry and long sight lines that work well for centred compositions. You can shoot from a distance to include the full approach or move closer to focus on details and scale with people in frame. It is a busy area, so it also works well for street photography, especially in the evenings when locals gather and the monument is lit up. Early morning is your best chance for softer light and fewer crowds. It is easy to access and a straightforward stop when exploring central Delhi. (Delhi, India)
