Meet Rakhi, one of the very special Kalbelia Gypsy dancing girls I met during the annual Pushkar Mela, Rajasthan. Kalbelia are the 'Snake People' - 'Kal' meaning 'snake'. For centuries, up until legislation and developments in the sciences from the 60's, these formerly itinerant folk specialised in snake serums. Now that side of their culture has gone, and being coerced to settle, these people rely on their age old music and spectacular dance for their livelihood. Vestiges of their old, nomadic way of life are still apparent in that they live on the fringes of town, separate from the rest of the inhabitants. I got to know Rakhi, along with her Kalbelia dancing companions, fairly well during the week of the Mela and decided to hire them one afternoon, along with their musicians, for a photo shoot. We found a suitably, disused, empty shell of a building for the dancing photos on the fringes of the Thar desert just out of town where the girls and musicians performed royally. This image is one of a few I took of her before the dancing commenced proper, giving me a twirl whilst I sized up the light and suitable background for the session - 26/11/2012

The ao dai is the national costume of Vietnam that is meant to grace a woman's figure. Modest yet seductive, it really is a beautiful article of clothing. From the author: My fascination and appreciation for the ao dai runs deeper than my Vietnamese heritage that runs in my veins. In an...
