An elderly Egyptian tailor sits at a heavy-duty vintage sewing machine inside a worn traditional workshop in Esna, Upper Egypt, wearing a white gallabiya (traditional Egyptian robe) and eyeglasses. Arabic newspaper clippings and handwritten notes are pinned to the deteriorating wall behind him, reflecting decades of local trade and craft. This image documents a traditional Egyptian tailoring profession (tarzī) that has been practiced in small workshops across Upper Egypt for generations.
