The Wai Khru of the Arjahn Thoy (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The wai khru ceremony is a Thai ritual in which students pay respects to teachers in order to express their gratitude and formalize the student–teacher relationship. This particular wai khru is for the Arjahn Thoy a master of the sacred art of Sak Yant, the traditional magic tattoo from Thailand. Once a year the other arjahn that have learned from him make the ceremony to honour their master. In this occasion, in Bangkok, I took this photo of the master and all his disciples.
AUTHOR
My name’s Roberto Scordino and I’m a professional photographer born and based in Rome.
I started to photograph only at the end of 2015 but I have worked for a long time with multimedia projects working with multinational institutions and brands and have been a VJ starting in 1999 back to the times of vhs.
For years I have been interested in socio-anthropological research in the world of subcultures.
In the last years I studied photography, among others, with awards-winners photographers like Paolo Marchetti and I am graduated in the Masterclass held by Fausto Podavini and Giovanni Cocco.
I love most landscape photography and reportage as a way of storytelling.
Relatively new at photography I’m working very hard to master all aspect of it.
