A photo of an elderly Indian man laughing

Ladakh

Ladakh was taken in Ladakh, India, in a monastery tucked below the Himalayas. This kind man was showing us his prayer beads and wishing us well on our journey. His friendly smile and welcoming eyes were a true reflection of the cordial and receptive character this man evoked. This photograph serves as a reminder for myself regarding the power of a genuine smile, of a smile鈥檚 ability to break all language barriers and to stimulate positive emotions. A reminder to keep smiling.鈥漇tudent Arts Program official selection 2020.

These faces are what sparked my love for portraiture photography. Every photo and every person a unique story.
