Lang Dulay - My entry for the 7 DAYS 🖼 PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST! 🖼 by @flamingirl [Day 4 ]
Welcome to my FOURTH entry for the portrait photography hosted by @flamingirl!
Back in 2013, someone asked me to take a portrait of a Filipino weaver from T'boli, South Cotabato in the Island of Mindanao, Philippines, because they wanted to make a painting from my portrait. Little did I know that I was meeting someone who is a recepient of the National Living Treasure Award. That award is given by the Philippine government to artists or group of artists that contribute to the country's intangible cultural heritage.
Lang Dulay is a master weaver of T'nalak, a dyed fabric made out of fine abaca fiber. She started weaving at the age of 12 and continued all her life - and she was able to pass down the art of weaving to her children and grandchildren who also became weavers themselves.
For proof that the photos are mine, here is a photo of me photographing Lang Dulay:
And here is a bonus: a souvenir photo of me and her! It was a honor to shoot her.
Thanks to @flamingirl for running such a fun contest! If you're interested in joining @flamingirl's contest, you can find the announcement here or check out my feed, I've resteemed her post.
