Nicolaus Schmidt, born 1953, is a German photographer and historian. Until 1988 Nicolaus Schmidt was the chairman of Terre des hommes Germany. His photographic work has resulted in several books. In 2014, in cooperation with the Indian journalist Priyanka Dubey , he published the book "INDIA · WOMEN". Nicolaus Schmidt's photographs focus on the very poor conditions of the daily lives of women in rural areas and the poorer quarters of Indian cities, where 70% of the Indians live. The pictures chronicle their struggles and their yearning to live a life of dignity in spite of all the difficulties. The photographs reveal that even the poorest women are capable of displaying a surprising self-confidence. His series of portraits reflect the situation of women, caught between tradition, religion and the modern age.
