EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, members of the Shembe Church are seen engaging in a powerful act of worship on the Durban beach front. Kneeling in water, they pray with unwavering devotion and unity, their central composition creating a striking visual impact. This traditional way of life is beautifully captured by Rogan Ward, showcasing the deep faith and religious ceremony that defines their culture. The image presents a stunning contrast between the serene reflection of the worshippers and the energetic waves crashing behind them. The open space and picturesque nature surrounding them add to the beauty in this outdoor setting. The unrecognizable figures dressed in traditional clothes create an atmospheric silhouette against the backdrop of a radiant sun. Ward's creative use of depth of field allows us to appreciate both individual worshippers and multiple people engaged in prayer simultaneously. As we observe from a rear view perspective, it becomes evident that this moment holds great significance for these individuals as they connect with something greater than themselves. This photograph captures not only a religious symbol but also highlights how nature can serve as an integral part of worship. It reminds us that faith knows no boundaries or limitations; it transcends cultural differences and embraces all who seek solace on this sandy shore.
