Photographers Amit & Naroop Capture Unique Ways Sikh Men Wear Their Beards and Turbans
THE INDEPENDENT
By Iain Aitch
When our cities' coffee shops, bars and clubs started to fill with young men sporting carefully maintained beards and waxed moustaches, photographers Amit and Naroop began to do double-takes. After all, this was a look the pair – both west London Sikhs – were more used to seeing at their gurdwara than in fashion outlets. The pair are known in the music world for their portraits of 50 Cent and Tinie Tempah, but have managed to portray the 36 subjects in "Singh" with as much star quality as any chart-topper. [link]
'Singh' is at the Framers Gallery, London W1 (theframersgallery.co.uk), from 3 to 15 November
