A wonderful story: I met a photographer from Copenhagen who had been living in Sri Lanka for 12 years after falling in love with it. After losing his hospitality work during COVID he rode his bike amongst the villages and started to capture everyday images of village walls, people and abstract things that he was able to photograph in the most extraordinary way. Colours, textures and nature combined cultivated his artistic expression which he sells at his gallery in Galle Forte. Applied on vinyl these photos were recreated by using paint but I found they didn’t hold the same beauty.
The man in the image was grief stricken after the loss of his wife. Thomas photographed him after hearing his story and all proceeds going to improve his living standards. Thomas bought him a bed but he preferred to sleep on the floor as that’s what he was used to.
Sometimes adversity like losing your job can spin miracles in others lives.❤️
