FORGOTTEN HEROES

For this series I photographed the world of the craftsmen. Hardworking people with incredible passion and dedication to their work. People with knowledge and expertise that has developed and formed over many generations. The craft sector has a huge cultural, social, economic, and environmental impact on their society. 

But it is a sector threatened with extinction. Many crafts are already on the edge of disappearing. 

The aim of the series is to enthuse the new generation about this sector in order to save it from extinction and help the world on its way to sustainability.
