Gypsy women who don't avoid photographers

Central Asian Gypsies - Lyuli (Jughi) led a nomadic lifestyle, and their camps were usually located near the cities where the big bazaars were held.

Unlike other townspeople, Gypsy women did not cover their faces, and photographers of the past managed to capture the appearance of not only men but also young and elderly women, the peculiar details of their costume and the archaic elements that had already gone out of everyday fashion among the Uzbek women.

You can learn more about the topic in the book-album “Uzbekistan in historic photographs of the 19th - early 20th centuries in the collections of Russian archives” (Volume XXXVII) in the series “Cultural Legacy of Uzbekistan”.
 
The general sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
