Alfonso Perez de Velasco, The keepers of Manikarnika (Portrait (ATEP 2017))

These portraits are part of Manikarnika: Dying the Good Death for which I have also submitted images in the Documentary category. This is an ongoing project photographing the funeral rites in Manikarnika, the main Burning Ghat in Varanasi but also of the members of the cast of the Untouchables whose families have worked there for generations.

Images have been resized for web display, which may cause some loss of image quality. Note: Original high-resolution images are used for judging.
