Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix // At a Hindu temple near their home in Delhi, India, three generations of a family with albinism pose for a rare family portrait. The condition is caused by a recessive genetic trait which leads to little or no melanin, or pigment, in the skin, hair, and eyes of people with albinism. Here, Rose Turai Pullan (front row) and his wife, Mani (center), are joined by their six children, son-in-law (back row, second from left), and sole grandchild, Dharamraj Mariappan Devendra. Although the world’s largest reported family of people with albinism lives in India—three generations, no exceptions—albinism is more widespread in Tanzania than in any other country. About one in 1,400 people there is born pale, and about one in 17 carries the recessive gene. Its occurrence varies greatly throughout the world. In Europe and North America the rate is only one in 20,000. On the San Blas Archipelago off the Caribbean coast of Panama, the rate among the Guna people is a staggering one in 70. The image is part of my latest project for @ナショナルジオグラフィック, “The Perils of Pale,” in this month’s magazine and online. #albinism #india #skin #genetics #photojournalism #moment #portrait #color #family #diversity #inmyskiniwin
