Zambian Portraits

For four months in 2014, Paolo Solari Bozzi traveled across Zambia, penetrating into some of the lesser-known areas of this fascinating country, including the remote Bangwelu swamps, where the locals had rarely come across a European visitor. Using mechanical medium-format cameras and wide-angle lenses, Paolo depicts, in around 120 black-and-white pictures some aspects of the lives of Zambians at work—be they fishermen, harvesters, road workers, miners, or shopkeepers, without forgetting the innate beauty of a landscape captured in photographs taken from above.
