Olivier Galibert: Ismaili Portraits from Tajikistan

Olivier Galibert of France spent three weeks in Tajikistan in July 2010 to participate in a caving expedition in the Pamir and visited Rangkul Skaja, the 5th highest cave in the world at 4600 m. He met many people along the way in the Wakhan corridor, the Panj valley and Murghab, and took their portrait photos with his D700 nikon + 28-70 F2,8 – "no models, just people I met on the street.” Simerg, with his kind permission, is pleased to publish a selection of his portraits that are specifically of Ismailis.

The Wakhan Corridor is commonly used as a synonym for Wakhan, an area of far north-eastern Afghanistan which forms a land link or "corridor” between Afghanistan and China. The Corridor is a long and slender panhandle or salient, roughly 140 miles (220 km) long and between 10 and 40 miles (16 and 64 km) wide. It separates Tajikistan in the north from Pakistan in the south. The map also shows the Panj River. It is a tributary of the Amu Darya. The river is 1,125 km long and forms a considerable part of the Afghanistan – Tajikistan border. Map and caption: Wikipedia.

Galibert says in his Flickr account that he wants the viewers to enjoy his photographs as much as he has enjoyed taking them, adding that he had ”some incredible experiences while I got all these portraits, smiles, faces… I don’t remember all the teas I have shared neither all the meals.” He notes quite humbly that even if a picture appears to be perfect in everyone’s opinion, that to him is only the tip of the iceberg – meeting people are his richest experiences. "I just want to have some fun with picture and share my experiences,” adds Galibert.

Ishkashim, 27 May 1995: His Highness the Aga Khan’s stage may appear to be at a distant, but for thousands of Ismailis his presence amongst them glittered their hearts and souls with happiness and joy.

His Highness the Aga Khan in Murghab on 26 May 1995. He told his audience of Ismaili and non-Ismaili Muslims: "Today, the Ummah is constituted of hundreds of millions of Muslims and who are bound by their faith – the Shahada, ‘La-illaha-Ilallah Muhammadur Rasullillah’ – and yet, who over centuries have come to live in different climates, speak different languages and who differentiate in some interpretations of their faith.” Photo and caption: Special Issue of The Ismaili (Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Visit to Central Asia, 22 – 31 May 1995).
