People of Sri Lanka

This series of photos was taken during my trip to Sri Lanka - an amasingly beautiful island populated with more than 20 mln people. And there is a unique story behind each of them. Getting acquainted with them, communicating, learning their stories and taking their portraits - was a great experience of going deeper into Sri Lanka culture. Unfortunately most of them can hardly make their living. But whatever their quality of life and position in society, the people of Sri Lanka possess a warm and friendly nature reflected in persistent smiling faces and eagerness to help.
