Goldsmith's Workshop

My series of photos taken in the market area of Fort Cochi continues with this interior shot of the workshop of a jewellery maker. The red mirror against the blue wall reveals the shoulder of the artisan himself, sitting across the room. The colours and details are quite beautiful, despite the damp coming through the walls.

Great image!!! I like the definition of the shot that enhances the atmosphere of decay of the room.

  Buy one for me as well……..
  
  if I’d seen the mirror when I was there, it would have had the guy’s face reflected in it.
  That red against the wall is something else though, isn’t it…
