Salt-Crusted Portrait of Patiala Dried Fish Merchant

by Kelsey Burnett

Golden late afternoon light strikes the deeply furrowed face of a dried-fish merchant near the Patiala riverside landing. Heavy salt crystals rest on the deep creases of his weathered skin, forming a white, jagged texture against the dark, leathery complexion. A brief sun shower has left moisture glistening on his forehead and shoulders, darkening the fabric of his simple shirt. His eyes, framed by thick, salt-stained brows, hold a steady, dignified gaze that looks past the camera. Water droplets hang from the edge of his nose and the hem of his collar, catching the bright open daylight. The background blurs into the soft, wet tones of the riverbank, while the sharp focus remains on the intricate map of wrinkles and salt on his cheeks. one drop of water rests on a deep line near his ear.
