About

An artisan wearing round glasses, a dark blue t-shirt, a denim apron, and a patterned headscarf leans over a table to apply or inspect a gold leaf sheet. In the background, traditional folding screens decorated with gold and painted scenes are visible. The natural lighting highlights the focused expression of the maker as he works carefully on the craft project. The composition captures a candid, observational moment of traditional craftsmanship in progress. This portrait was photographed in Sydney by Nick Bowers.
