Wise Man 1
Wise Man 1 is one in a series of incredible photographic images taken by Mario Gerth on his travels through Africa & India where he visited many of the indigenous tribes staying with families along the way exploring their rituals, culture and individual personalities. This monochrome version of the Indian Wiseman or Baba, is a beautiful portrayal of these quiet natured men who choose to live a simple, spiritual life without modern day comforts or possessions . They often live in temples, caves and forests and are thought of as holy beings.
Mario Gerth is a world class German photographer who has pursued his passion by documenting his travels through 80 different countries across the globe. My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw these images for the first time. They are powerful and entrancing with a softness of light and richness of texture that emerges boldly from the dark background making it seem almost possible to reach out and touch the skin of the person in the photograph.
