Untitled Portraits — India / 17The White Wrap
Profile of a bearded man in a white turban with a mala around his neck against a plain wall — fine art portrait by Sefa Yamak, India series.

Pushkar, India · 2018

The White Wrap

He turned his face to the side just as I raised the camera, so I kept the profile.

This story imagines, it does not document. It is what the photograph made me feel.

The white cloth of the turban is wound tight, and his long beard is the same pale grey. A string of prayer beads sits low on his chest. He is looking at something past me and I never found out what.

— Sefa Yamak, Pushkar. India series.
