What the Mountain Holds

Photographed in Ladakh, What the Mountain Holds looks at how everyday life sits within a vast and often severe landscape. The images move between mountains, monasteries, roads, villages, animals, and people, paying attention to the small signs of life held within the scale of the region.

Shot on black-and-white film, the series is about distance, isolation, belief, and the quiet presence of the mountains.
