1. Preis, Life Framer - World Travelers 2018 • Hirte in Tadschikistan

​

“This is a wonderfully realised shot of a shepherd in Tajikistan – the sepia tone creating something raw and tactile, simultaneously old and contemporary. That in itself is a lovely visual trick – emphasising this simple way of life we are privy to made only possible by modern technology. It feels both recognisable and unfamiliar, just out of reach perhaps. And is that not how travel often feels? Imbued with gorgeous textures, the sheep coats blending into the rolling hills behind, it’s the man’s glance that holds us – dead center of this memorable frame.” – Life Framer
