Morocco Alight Jim Kayalar

Morocco Alight is a historically significant photo book. It portrays vintage images from an era long gone. The book will showcase to the reader the beauty of mystical and exotic Morocco. Morocco is a destination unlike any other. The book takes the reader to the capital Rabat, then embarks on a journey to Meknes, Fes, Volubilis, Moulay Idris, Midelt, Erfoud. Ourzazate and its Kasbahs, the Atlas Mountains and Todra. Every country has a color. Morocco's color is a mix of vibrant red, violet, purple and greens. The photographs have been arranged so as to take the reader to the capital Rabat and then inland into the rural heart of the country. The large format of the book and layout allow the reader to better experience the vibrant colors of everyday life as it unfolds. Photography is both an art and a science. A mix of light, opportunity, time and space. It is to be at the right place at the right time as well as with the right subjects and objects. Sometimes what is in front of the camera is just as interesting as who is behind the camera. The photo represents an outcome that consists of all social and cultural paradigms both in front and behind the camera as well as technical and social skills of the photographer.
