Haunting Portraits (Series)
DESCRIPTION
This series is called “Haunting Portraits” from various portraits of the journey to Bangladesh in 2020. The people are laborers who work either at the port or in the shipyards of Dhaka. The work is hard and demanding. The conditions are hot and often dangerous. So are the faces of the people; all tell a different story. All ages work together. Nevertheless, the people were friendly and willing to be photographed.
