Nepal's affable sādhus are almost totally dependent on the alms of others for
subsistence. In addition, they may also support themselves by engaging
in any of the following activities: begging, serving as spiritual
mentors to personal disciples, interpreting dreams, telling fortunes,
reading palms, astrology, manufacturing amulets, performing exorcisms,
casting spells, singing, conjuring, juggling, tattooing, selling
medicinal potions, and posing for photographers...
"A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth..."(Richard Avedon)
What is a Portrait?
A portrait is a
painting, photograph, sculpture, or any other artistic representation of a person,
in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display
the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, even in
street photography, a portrait is generally not a spontaneous snapshot, but a composed image of a
person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at
the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject
with the viewer.
