Palmer House Hindu wedding Part One: Rupel & Adam
I was looking for a practitioner who has photographed wedding ceremonies that are of a different culture when I came across this photograph from a Hindu wedding.
This photo court my eye as I found the contrast of the dark patterns of the henna and the dark background against the light skin to be beautiful. The photo is simple as it only has the hand and a focus point but the decorative patterns on the hand is intricate and eye catching.
"Photographers tend to be on a quest to learn from what they don't understand. Some of us are shy and timid, some are gregarious. But in the end, we have a segue into the lives of other people. Our cameras."

This quote above is exactly what I am currently doing with this project I am on a quest to learn from what I don't understand
Keven Weinstein's work has given me some basic idea on how I can document the up coming Buddhist wedding blessing. I know that the two culture are different but looking at these photos has made me more excited to attend a wedding then I have ever been before.
