American-born photographer Waswo X. Waswo has worked with a team of
Indian artists to playfully recreate and examine the tradition of
vintage studio portraiture. His chief accomplice is Rajesh Soni, a
third generation Rajasthani hand-colourist whose grandfather was
court photographer to the Maharana Bhopal Singh of Mewar. Soni's
careful and highly skilled painting adds a vintage feel to work
that hovers enigmatically between the retro and the contemporary.
"Men of Rajasthan" contains 50 images, annotated with delightful
commentary by the photographer himself. It uncovers the
male-centric universe of a uniquely mysterious place.
