Moldova-born photographer Sasha Leahovcenko travelled twice to the “end of the earth”—otherwise known as Chukotka in Siberia—to photograph remote tribes whose members have never had their pictures taken before.
In addition to giving out warm clothes, shoes and gifts to these villagers, Leahovcenko and his team also took photographs of these villagers, printed them out on the spot and handed them out as mementos.
The images that the photographer captured on these trips show an ancient way of life that modernity has forgotten—they also reflected a surprising sense of peace and satisfaction from these people who no doubt lead hard lives in the harsh, unforgiving climate.
Read more about Leahovcenko’s adventures and view more of his stunning photographs of the nomadic reindeer-heading families on his website.
You can also watch a short documentary film of the journey in the video below.
