Hooper made his images of the Madras Famine from 1876-78, during his travels through the Madras Presidency. The photographs were taken outdoors, in villages and relief camps, with the subjects posed intentionally in front of government buildings. His photographs were often staged for dramatic effect, with reports claiming that the subjects were categorised into groups on the basis of age and gender before being photographed. Hooper faced severe criticism when the photographs were first published, primarily for failing to offer aid to the victims while being responsible for photographing them. Despite the censure, the photographs were sold commercially by photographic studios in both India and England in albums and as postcards, as well as circulated in private collections. They were also circulated as engravings in various publications - mapacademy
