A fruit vendor takes his morning tea break on the job at the Federation of Self-Employees (FOSE) Market in the Pettah area of Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo. January 2020.
Colombo Street, in Kandy, is a busy avenue, its eastern end crowded with hardware stores. Incongruously squeezed in amongst these is The Radh, a delightful city hotel, ingeniously designed to make use of a narrow street frontage. Many of The Radh’s rooms have balconies overlooking Colombo Street, giving one a great position to look out over the hubbub of Kandy City, while remaining removed from it. The perfect place to start the day, or end it; regardless of what’s in your cuppa. In this picture, Shermaine Willis is photographed on assignment for Ashraff Associates and The Radh, Kandy. Sri Lanka, October 2018.
