Kamra e faoree
Series of hand tinted photographic portraits of Portland residents taken in places that have a special connection for them – those new to the island as well as those from a longer lineage. Created using his self-built Afghan Camera Box/kamra-e-faoree, this traditional method of photography creates space for subjects to connect slowly with their surroundings, sharing memories, thoughts and exploring relationships to place and what it means to be from somewhere. Portraits are hand coloured, adding to the timeless quality of the image.
