Cremation in Bali family portraits of a group of young women

I visited Bali – Indonesia in 2011. While there I was honoured to document Mr A.A. Mangkling’s Ngaben cremation ceremony. An event to celebrate his life. As I sorted through the many photographs from the three day event, I was struck by the many lovely posed family portraits. Subsequently, I decided to separate out and curate the cremation family portraits to complement the Ngaben Cremation story.
