Pure Faith is a unique collection of 28 images, in which Israeli photographer Harel Stanton explores his interpretation of the sacred rites, traditions, and significant cultural nuances. Stanton’s photographs feature ethnicities and religions including Orthodox Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. “For me,” says Stanton, “as someone who studies the religious ceremonies through the lens of the camera, every time I am amazed again to see that it is all the same people who are behind the uniform, costumes, dress, burka, kippa etc.” More about Harel Stanton...
