Kalasha is a photography and storytelling journey with ethnographic depth that captures the vibrant lives, rich traditions and resilience of the Kalash people, an animist ethnic group nestled in the valleys of the Hindu Kush mountains, Pakistan. Living among the Kalash people almost two months allowed me to build genuine connections. This personal engagement shaped every photograph and intimate stories, ensuring authenticity and respect for their way of life.Kalasha is a three times awarded multimedia book that celebrates diversity through videos, photography and narrated stories (via QR code)
