Description
The last time I was India, I visited this dying operation outside of Jaipur. A local photographer friend knew the owner of the business. Like many businesses in India, this operation looked like it was from a different century.
In this operation, white cloth was being dyed red by dipping the cloth in a vat of hot red dye. The strong colour of the red dye combined with the steam rising from the vat gives this image a bit of a surreal look. In particular, the dye operator in the background looks almost monochromatic compared to the dyed cloth.
