SINGH

The turban and the beard are the most powerful and obvious symbols of the identity of a Sikh man – this project titled ‘SINGH’ is a celebration of that identity. Many religions determine the way their followers look, but none have such a dramatic and definite ‘look’ as Sikhism. And yet, with 30 million Sikhs in the World, there are almost as many ways to wear the turban and beard as there are Sikhs. Sikhs are in all walks of life. The men who feature in the project are businessmen, boxers, IT professionals, doctors, fashion stylists, temple volunteers, magicians and a host of other occupations, all adapting and interpreting the Sikh traditions in their own way.
