Walking along one of the streets of Haridwar, I encountered a barber’s shop, I was made welcome by the staff and this small photo essay is the result.
A stunning young woman, in her immaculate sari, was a contrast to the dusty streets around her. The chaos of the street didn’t stop her young child sleeping
A naga sadhu, naked except for his sandals, body smeared with ashes makes his way along the street.
the woman is engaged with the camera but her details remain obscure, mysterious even, under her red veil.
Two Women, Haridwar, one in mixed light, the other in deep shade. This is another image from the “Faces of Haridwar” slide-show presentation …
a quiet image, almost abstract. Simple, graphic, with one boldly coloured element in an otherwise (almost) monochrome scene.
Contrast in the scene was extreme with the late afternoon sun poking through the clouds and foreground elements in deep shade.
