This year will see the publication of the second instalment of my Colourchrome book that was published last year. The new book will be of similar format: same dimension, but this time it will be a detailed monograph of my Altiplano images, interlaced with stories from my time at high elevation. The book will also contain some context towards the geographical and cultural region: Bolivia is a high altitude landscape and the land here is the way it is due to the environmental conditions and local farming.
Forthcoming book cover (prototype).
I've been photographing the Altiplano regions of Argentina, Bolivia & Chile for the past nine years.
I had hoped to publish a book on the Atacama regions of Chile, Bolivia and Argentina several years ago, but the project just kept extending as I found each year that I went back to complete the work I would find more locations worthy of exploring.
A handful of images
The whole region would take a lifetime to photograph, so I came to the conclusion recently that it is a task that has no end in sight, and I should really draw a line where I feel there is some kind of personal natural conclusion.
Expect an announcement later in the year.
Cono de Arita, Puna de Atacama, Argentina.
