From the Press:

 

“His 35mm camera captures pictures which are not just visually enticing but also sumptuously exciting” . . . “The images themselves, even as they present food in its multiple contexts, tease the senses”. .“They led us to discover stories that went beyond the obviousness of the food items displayed”. .” The image of the paanwalla in Varanasi was not simply another example of an orientalist take on India; it held a sign-system which gave you clues about the cultural life of Varanasi”. . “Sephi’s visual sensibility as a commercial photographer has clearly had an enriching influence on this body of work”.
