The Intimate Expanse

This evocative compilation of photographs depicts people existing within landscapes from all over the world. Acclaimed humanitarian photographer Lisa Kristine commemorates the awe-inspiring vastness of nature, juxtaposing it with the small, ordinary moments of people’s lives. From the Great Sahara’s indigo-swathed Tuareg nomads traversing the desert via traditional caravan, to the majestic ruin of Machu Picchu jutting up from the Andean peaks, to the ethereal River Li in China, where fishermen still train birds to help them hunt, as they have done for generations.

At once a celebration of wonderful diversity and a sensitive perspective on the human relationship with the environment, The Intimate Expanse invites you, page by page, on a boundless journey of discovery that is as captivating as it is unforgettable.
