Photographer of Indigenous People & Traditional Cultures
In Kannauj, India, artisans carefully extract the essence of flowers—especially roses—using centuries-old methods passed down through generations. They transform delicate petals, herbs, and spices into perfumes that are more than just fragrance: each drop tells a story, carrying the history, culture, and soul of the land. Here, time slows, patience and precision shape every scent, and the air itself seems to whisper the secrets of an ancient craft that has enchanted the world for centuries.
