Among the Nomads of Kyrgyzstan
High in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, nomadic families still live by rhythms passed down for generations. This series captures intimate moments from daily life: a boy and his dog, tea served in a yurt, riders thundering across open plains.
Photographed while living among several families, the images reflect a quiet resilience — tradition blending with change, solitude coloured by community. In a fast-moving world, these moments offer a glimpse into a slower, deeply rooted way of life.
