An Ode to Headscarves by Sadia Naheen

Do read Sadia Naheen’s reflection on my photo below in Light and Composition Magazine entitled An Ode to Headscarves here.

I took this photo somewhere in Kuala Lumpur at one of the shop dealing especially in headscarves.  The demand for headscarves has sharply increased for the past 10 years or so thanks to greater awareness about Islam in Malaysia.  It is muslim ladies’ obligation to wear hijab or headscarf to cover their body and hair in front of men other than their father, brothers, uncles and husband.
