EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Rupak De Chowdhuri, a man is seen deeply engrossed in his faith as he touches a statue of Jesus Christ after attending a Good Friday prayer at a church in Kolkata, India. The close-up shot allows us to witness the intensity and devotion with which the man connects with his beliefs. The unrecognizable figure's hand reaches out towards the statue, symbolizing not only physical touch but also an emotional connection to Jesus Christ. With creative use of depth of field, the background fades into an out-of-focus blur, emphasizing the importance of this intimate moment between man and deity. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of religious rituals and their significance in people's lives. It highlights how culture and tradition play vital roles in shaping individuals' spiritual journeys. As we approach Easter during Semana Santa (Holy Week), this image serves as a reminder of the resurrection story that lies at the core of Christianity. The composition offers ample copy space around it, allowing for potential usage across various media platforms without obstructing its impact. Through this photo print, Rupak De Chowdhuri invites viewers to contemplate faith and spirituality while appreciating diverse cultural practices worldwide.
