the travel documents of Eric Valli

Eric Valli, is a French photographer and film director passionate about showcasing the most remote and inaccessible locations in the world, creating work for the likes of National Geographic and the Sunday Times. Notable parts of his work are those comprised by the photographs from the high Himalaya’s where he spent 20 years trekking with the Dolpo-pa people, those in India with the children of the dust who spend their days lugging heavy bricks, and those in Nepal documenting the fearless Gurung men who harvest nests from the world’s largest honeybee.

"We can visit distant areas of the world and not feel like we have left our city, the same shops, restaurants, and brands surround us, culturally you could say we are slowly becoming one. Eric Valli has made it his life’s work to document the diversity that human kind does behold. it’s a refreshing reminder of how remarkable the world can be, highlighting societies that view living at its simplest form, survival."
