Photograph of 1955.

It is in 1955 that Denis Brihat leaves for a trip to India that will last a whole year and where he will discover the north of the country. He puts all his technique, his tricks at the service of the images taken on the moment, so many striking testimonies that reflect the beauty of these places, the sensitivity of its inhabitants. On his return, he organized a very first Parisian exhibition that would arouse the admiration of all, thanks in particular to the innovative quality of the print mastered by Denis.

From this image emerges the purity of a meditation, the purity of the white that surrounds this Sadhu, this man who renounced material goods to devote himself to prayer and recollection. Moment shared by the delicacy of the photographer respectful of a different culture allowing us to access this eternal image.
