Diaspora Smile by Bhanuwat Jittivuthikarn

Courtesy of LOUDreams, we have the pleasure of covering one of the most powerful collection of portraits our eyes have been blessed to see. “These simple and straightforward portraits depict these elderly Tibetan’s pain and their dignity even through their hopeful smiles. However, full of faith, they are able to show us that the people who have less materials can be blissful in their beliefs and their lives. Receiving private blessing from His Holiness Dalai Lama is their last quest in life, now many of them are already renounced the world and prepares themselves for hereafter.”
